Crape Myrtle Run

Daddy made a big splash at the Crape Myrtle Run today. He ran the 5K in preparation for November's half marathon and to support my school. When he checked his time he discovered he'd placed 3rd in his age bracket! He was only 14 seconds behind the 2nd place winner, which definitely played on his mind and competitive side. But, we are so proud of him!! He placed in the race and he wasn't even trying!

In the meantime I walked the 1 mile fun run route. I found one of the other art teachers who was there in support of her school and we walked together. It was fun and I have to say it's much easier to walk my mile in the morning than it is when I try to go after school! Once we sat down at home for some breakfast (or in my case an after breakfast snack of a yogurt parfait) Parker really got moving and grooving. I guess she enjoyed the walk, too!

On a side note, all 3 men that walked in support of our school placed in the race. One of the teachers placed in her age bracket as well as the daughter of one of the teachers. We might not have had the largest group, but we were evidently there to perform!
