Ready, Set, Race!

This Saturday Bella ran in her first fun-run race!  Her Grandma Jody, who's a runner, knew of a kids 1K fun-run race nearby, so she asked if she and Bella could run in it together.  Bella loves to run, so we thought it would be a lot of fun for her.  The morning of the race, she practiced running a loop around our kitchen, dining room, and living room to warm up.  Then we were off to the race!  She was a little nervous at first, but she ended up really enjoying it!  Grandma had to carry her about 20 feet, but then she ran the entire way (except when they had to stop to kick a dirt mound for while!).  She finished in under 10 minutes, and came through the finish line with a smile on her face:)


Go Number 650!

Getting some food after the race-all that running makes a girl hungry:)
