Saturday: race day!

We made it to race day.  We haven't been practicing lately because the weather got rainy (and cold).  I'm a wimp I guess.

I ran with Isaac.  We didn't stop, although we slowed down several times for a drink of water.  Isaac did a great job and probably finished in the middle...although it didn't help that the beginning was terrible.  They changed the route, which was great, but started the race in the tightest spot possible.  (Isaac did a better job with large strides when there were people to pass.)


Ben went with Joshua.  They ran for the first part and then walked the second.  Joshua ran at the very end, just passing someone at the end to come in second to last.  Telling him that he got a snack once he finished is what spurred him on.  For not doing much practicing he did a really good job and did the whole thing on his own without being carried.


The tulips are going to be perfect for Tulip Time!
