I was up at 5:15 AM to do my workout before everyone else woke up at 6 AM to get ready for the race. I made oatmeal for breakfast.
What race? The Brent's Place Kids for Cancer 5K, we ran for Skylar's friend, Jemma, who has leukemia.
We headed out in the rain and it rained off and on for the whole race.
All bibbed up and ready to go.
And we are off...
Crossing the finish line.
Over at the Kids Corner the kids played with bubbles...
rode the train...
got some prizes
ran a 3 legged race
and overall had a great day. We are so happy that Uncle Mait and Jenny came to town and took us to the race. Next year, we have already decided on our team name - Jemma's Joggers. Skylar came up with the name. She wants to make shirts and run for Jemma. I am so proud of her love and thoughtfulness of Jemma. Jemma is in her thoughts everyday.
After the fun activities at the race, we went home to change clothes and head to lunch at my favorite restaurant, Watercourse. I don't think it is my favorite restaurant anymore. We had horrible service and our regular nachos weren't as good either. Need to write another review.
After lunch, everyone wanted to relax and since it was still raining, we sat on the couch and watched a movie.
Cold, rainy day but everyone had great attitudes and we had a wonderful day.
