A couple of months ago Erin casually mentioned wanting to start running with me in the mornings. I wasn't sure how serious she was, but she faithfully met me at 6:30 in the morning every M,W,F to run 2.5 miles. She started out running about halfway but in about a month she was running the whole thing. According to Erin, this is the longest she has every stuck with an exercise program - way to go, Erin! We just had to do the "Clifton Heights 2nd Annual 3K" together in August.
The kids were fired up and ready to cheer for us. . .
The race route went right by our house. Chet and Karl fittingly had the kids yelling, "Put the hammer down!" as we ran by. . .
Harkins, Cedar, Annika, Lauren and Finley (top of head) are ready for the start of the kids fun run! Too bad they blew a horn that made half the kiddos start to cry.
Karl and Audrey are pacing themselves. . .
Lauren was sooo focused. She ran the whole way with a very determined look on her face. Future track star?
Annika followed close behind. Remarkably, Audrey has almost caught up with Annika!
Celebrating with neighbor friend Eliza after the race.
The Hutchinson clan crosses the finish line! They are moving this week - makes us very sad.
Cooling off with a post race popsicle - need to replenish all those lost calories!
