Annie's 1st 5K


Saturday we participated in the Clay County Days 5k race in Manchester. I pulled Annie in the wagon for 3.1 miles. Well I pulled her most of the way for about half a mile mom carried her until she went into a deep sleep and then we layed her down in the wagon for her to sleep. She crossed the finish line sleeping. I finished 79th, Annie was 80th and Granny 81st. Dadda didn't want Annie to be last so granny did. I was pretty proud of our time, it only took us 49 or so mins, Dadda did really good and finished in a little over 22 mins, Auntie V was around 25/27 or so mins and Nana Charlotte was around 42 or so mins. Everyone but mom & I received gold metals for our age group. It was a pretty good time, Annabelle really enjoyed it during the time she was awake. We are looking forward to next years when we will push her in a jogging stroller :) I also heard a rumor that we had traffic backed up for quite a ways and when the guys directing traffic finally let it go right before we got there Auntie V had something to say to him, she is such a good aunt. The only bad thing about the whole event as the horrible blisters I got on my heels, one of which busted and bled through my sock and into my shoe. That's what I get trying to be cheap and reusing shoes I already had instead of buying some new ones.
