Everyone's a Winner!

Yesterday was our second 5K of the season. We each received a bag of "goodies" with the usual... T-shirt, sponsor pens/pencils/clips. The best part, was that the goody bag also included tiny marble-like animals (from Mexico) and dreamcatchers (from China). I got a donkey, Mike got a horse, and our neigbor who ran with us got a goose. What fun!I have to report, our times did not improve this race. Mike has an excuse because this time he pushed the stroller. I have no real excuse, but in my defense, we ran straight up a mountain, and straight back down (two extremes which I have never taken a liking to). Alissa- 24:53 and 2nd in age category (there's always going to be that one girl that can beat me, isn't there?) Mike- 25:54 and second in stroller category. My brothers ran too. It was cool that our bib numbers also indicate the order in which we all finished!
Look at how happy I am to see the finish line! I'm thinking of reserving the license plate LV2BDUN in contrast to the one we see around town that says LUV2RUN.Adelyn was so happy to be part of the race. When it was all said and done, she says her dad is as fast as Lightning McQueen.
