We made it in just under 1 hour :). I carried her via piggy back for some it. She weighs in at about 85-90 pounds so it was a great workout for me. She forgot to eat before the event so part of the race involved me running into a gas station and getting her some food and then running to catch up with her and my wife.
It was a good time. Here is hoping she will do another :)!
Haha, I love that picture and the story!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a interesting day ;) Feel the need to mention that Amy (our 8 year old) isn't seriously overweight...she's freakishly tall for an 8 year old :) She's the same height as our 10 year old daughter, Emily who is also tall for her age. So, Jon had quite a load to carry for the last half mile :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind on reading blogs so I just saw this one - what a great pic! I remember the first race I did w/ my granddaughter. She was very young and it was 2 laps but after 1st she was really tired so she just ran in to the finish and when they tried to give her a ribbon she said "No, maybe next time"!
