Jeana beat me--the first in our family to finish a marathon! It was a cute program her school organized with all the second graders and the help of the gym teachers. Over the course of several weeks, they would walk a mile during the school hours and then they were asked to walk or run an additional mile on their own time each week building up to the final mile that they finished downtown where the official marathon happens as well. It is specifically designed for kids and their families and was really fun. Jeana had been excited for weeks to run a race.
While we were waiting at the finish line for the runners, Abby was entertaining us.
Here is Jeana with her friends after the race sporting their medals.
Because the marathon is called the Flying Pig, the finish line reads, 'finish swine', Jeana is reinacting her crossing the finish line in slow motion. It only took her 1:59:40 seconds to run a mile--GREAT TIME for a first race! Jk we couldn't figure out what the timer was for, some previous race I'm sure.
Here is Jeana with the few other brave souls from her class willing to run in the rain. There were severe thunderstorms the night before and an awfully wet morning we weren't sure if the race was going to be on, but by the time we got down to event, the rain stopped and the weather was pretty decent-not too cold. Also, she is posing with her teacher. She completely adores her teacher and held her hand the whole race. Luckily, her teacher doesn't seem to mind the adoration.
