Annada’s first 5K
It’s more fun with your hands up!
Annada ran in her first 5K today with Daddy. When I picked them up she looked exhausted. But Annada told me she wants to do it again with me.
Ready to go!
It sounds like a success – she alternated running at full speed with riding on Daddy’s back. And she raced another little girl (a couple years older). Just when Annada caught the girl, she looked over to celebrate and… wham! She ran into a tree.
She skinned her knee. It was well worth it though, because security was high at the race (due to Boston) and a police woman fixed Annada up with a bandaid and a Care Bear. It’s a stuffed green Care Bear. And it was clearly worth the pain.
Plus Annada got a cookie in her sandwich box afterward (this girl LOVES sugar – just look at her eyes). I think she’s sold on 5Ks :).
