Kendall was not happy that Emily got to participate without her. However, considering that she wanted to be carried after only two blocks from the car, I don't think she's ready for a 3.1-mile run. Kendall and I sat by the fountain in Linn Park -- which had been dyed pink for the occasion -- while Misty and Emily ran.
We made it over to the finish line just in time to cheer. After less than a minute of waiting, I heard Kendall holler, "Go Emily!" Then I caught sight of Misty and saw Emily cross the finish line a few feet in front of her. They finished in about 45 minutes -- which, considering Emily had never run that far before, is impressive.
Emily's favorite part of the race was the water stops. She was so impressed that she could dump a cup of water on her head (and that you throw your empty cup on the ground)!
We're very proud of our pink-clad ladies who ran the race today, raising awareness of breast cancer and funds for breast cancer research.
