"FUN" Run

NPA had their annual fun run and this year Peter, Julia, Brigham, and Eleanor did the one mile while I did my first 5k since Eleanor was born.    Brigham's teacher read them the story of the tortoise and the hair the day before and talked to them about pacing themselves at the race.  But, Brigham and his best friend David decided that it was still more fun to be the hair if you could run ahead and have a snowball fight.  So, that is what they did.  Fortunately they had the energy to finish even after going a LOT farther than a mile (apparently the route markings weren't overly clear).  I stayed fairly steady and fortunately "ran into" my good friend Spencer who is quite the runner and he helped me make it through to the end.  Afterwards, everyone ate lots of pancakes (Mom couldn't even eat one because she has been spoiled by Peter's) and bid on auction items.  We won a headband, scarf, purse, and CD signed by David Archuletta!  It was a super fun day.
