Well this might come as a shock to many of you but, I have been dreading Chloe's 1st race. I was so worried she wouldn't like it and then would never want to go again. I was determined not to push it on her too early. However as you all know we do take her to many of our races and she rides in the jogging stroller, cheering or yelling out "on your left/right" so we can pass folks safely. Well in September she asked if she could run a race. I said yes and found a race that had a Fun Run associated with it. I decided for her first race it should be just about her so I didn't sign up for the 5K. We went just for her. She was over the moon to go to "her race." She even squealed with delight when she got her very own race number and I pinned it on her. As you can tell it was raining on race day and I asked if she still wanted to go and she of course said yes and that splashing in puddles would be more fun. I love that about her. She was the youngest competitor by far and so the crowd really cheered hard as she came around the track. She ran 3 laps which is 3/4 of a mile in around 11 minutes. She had a great time.
