Last weekend, Harper ran her very first 5K...and she finished 2nd in her age division at 35:02. There were actually only 3 girls in her division...her three friends that we ran with. I could not believe how much stamina that girls had. Harper ran almost the entire way, just stopping for a few quick walks along the way. Richard and Owen even came out to cheer us along the course. About half way through the 3.1 miles, at one of the water stops, they told us there was ice cream at the end. Boy did that motivate those girls. Ice cream for breakfast...are you kidding me!?!
As we round the last tenth of a mile, before the finish line, Harper was running for all she was worth...and tripped. She caught herself with her hands and knee. But she hopped right back up and finished strong...bleeding extremities and all!
Way to Go Harper! Here's to many more races in your future...with Mom I hope!
