My kids are hard little workers. That is a fact. A couple of weekends ago they ran the fun run at the Loveland Classic, after a week of practice. It was hard work practicing, but they did it and I am so proud of them. Running kicks my butt, I know how hard it is, yet they still did it.
Here they are before the race, very happy and fresh looking. They have no idea what will hit them. :)
The gun went off and they started their mile. I was a quarter of a mile away from the start but couldn't find them in the crowd, so I only have pictures of them coming in. Nicole was first, and when she saw me she was so excited she threw her hands in the air and screamed, "MOM!!!! I RAN THE WHOLE WAY!!" I cried. Yes, I really did. She was so happy, and I was happy for her. I know she worked hard, because the 3 times she practiced earlier that week, she wasn't able to keep it up for the entire run. GREAT JOB, COLEY!!
Can you see Heidi and Elisabeth in the center of this picture? Heid has a blue shirt on and Elisabeth has pink shorts. They did fantastic! They stuck together and worked hard enough that Heidi's legs ached the next two days. Heidi, you're so strong!
Jeannie was jogging with Ady, and this was one time where the camera shut off, so I only got the back view. Jeannie has the black shirt on and Ady is the little girl in front of her. Kind of in the middle-ish left of the photo.
Sean is coming in with Xander and Caz, just a few minutes prior to this Caz and Xander each had one of the cow's hands. Too cute, but I missed the shot. Good job, kiddoes! You worked so hard!
I liked this one of Caz.
And here are the red-faced happy finishers. Xander just missed the age cut off, so even though they let him run, they wouldn't give him a punch card for the prizes. Kind of stinky, I know, but what can I do?
