MLK Dream Run January 10, 2009

Auntie Andi and Aislynn came to cheer us on!



Jaden running his little heart out in the 1/2 mile run. Afterwards, he was crying and saying his chest hurt (it was very cold!). But he was very excited to find out later that he got 1st place for his age group!




Little Titus was so excited and proud to run in a race (see him in the brown hood?) He ran hard, but tripped close to the starting line (too many kids on a skinny path). Despite that setback, he got up, kept running and finished his 1/4 mile race ! Good job Titus!




Noah (black hood) getting ready to start his race. Notice that he's a head taller than the other kids in his age group. :) He had a lot of fun and also got a first place trophy for his age group. His good friend Natalie is in the purple next to him.



Noah and Natalie after their race. Good job pre-schoolers!





Jaden and his friend Rebecca after the races....they were both sore later...1/2 mile is a long run for them!



Jenny and me (Jenny's my running partner---go girlies!)







Titus and his friend Rachel:







Here I am at the end of my 10K (6.2 mile) race. I can see the finish line!









My friend Karl and me (he ran the 10K also):




A good race day...a good cause...scholarships for high school seniors. It was a win-win day!
