Art City Days 5k

Natalie, Nichole, Joy, and My Dad all ran the Art City Days 5k. I was so proud of how well they did. Especially since they didn't train at all. They ran 5k 6 days before the race so they would know the race route (which they actually didn't go on because it was the wrong route).Before the race at my dad's work. My dad stops by there every time to see if anyone from his work is going to run with them. There were 3 other people that ran from dad's work and 2 form Joy's. There were over 2 thousand people running that race. The fastest person came in at a little over 15 minutes.And of course I couldn't be left out so at the last second I decided to race. I ran it in 10 min. and 3/100's of a second. Man I am fast. (the funniest part is the guys on the left of the picture cheered me on when I crossed the finish line).I almost missed Nichole. My mom and I watched and watched for everyone to come in. Nichole ran in with a group of girls all about her size. My mom said I think that's Nichole about 15 seconds before she crossed the finish line. I had just enough time to snap a picture. I wasn't even sure if it was her. I had to zoom it in and read the numbers on her back to see if it was her.Natalie stopped running at about 2 miles and just decided to run walk the rest of the way. Joy stayed with her. It was a lot harder then she thought.Here are all of the people that ran the race.Good job girls. At the end of the race they handed out power bars and power aid, fruit, Ice cream bars and hot cocoa? yet hot cocoa. Nestle sponsored the race and were not shy on giving away stuff.
