Hospice 4 mile race

On August 11th, Karalee, Amy and I ran the Hospice 4 mile race here in Bowling Green. (Daniel, Amy's husband, also ran the race, but he was so far ahead of us I wouldn't say he ran it "with us.") It was a perfect morning for a race, not too hot, and we all felt prepared and ready for a good run. We were not expecting the gravel track, though. In most places it was a comfortable run, but in other, especially the slopes, it was hard to run on.

However, we made it to the finish line, Amy and I together and then Karalee a bit ahead of us. The boys were there with the kiddos when we finished, which made it fun. We celebrated with a breakfast at the Waffle House (real healthy, heh?).

Here's Cash and B waiting at the finish line. It was sunny, and B hates the sun in his eyes. :)

Karalee came across the finish line with a smile.

Amy and I decided to sprint to the end. I'm not even sure the time on this race. I think it was around 43 minutes. 

The boys were cheering us on to the end. Ha! Not quite. They were busy playing in the gravel.

They did stop awhile to smile with mommy.

Getting ready to rest and enjoy our snacks.

Aren't we beautiful sporting some nice pastels? 

Daniel ended up placing second in his age division. Yay! As for us girls, we were just happy to be running on a beautiful morning. Next up? The Run for the Fight 5 miler at the end of September! :)
