Homemade 5K

Last year the family participated in a cross-country 5K, A Day At the Races, at Morven Park. We all had a great time and decided we would definitely do it again this year. Unfortunately, it conflicted with a number of other committments. So, we decided to host our own 5K that day. Lauren and I had experience setting up and breaking down the water station so we assigned ourselves that task. Kristen had experience with chalk drawing so she was assigned Finish Line designation. Bill was the most motivated to run the 5K so he was our race participant.

I remembered how excited I was to run past a car blasting the Rocky theme during my last race so I got the car stereo turned up but could only manage to find a Wiggles cd so Bill crossed the finish to the tune of "Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy".
And First Place goes to...Daddy!



Just to be authentic, after crossing the finish, Bill grabbed a cup from the water station, gulped it down, and tossed it to the ground.
YTD race cup pickup count = 5002
