Avery brought a sheet of paper home to announce the Bartlesville Bruin Mile for the elementary schools. It is mainly for fourth and fifth graders, but the younger kids were invited to run also. I figured with soccer starting this would be a great event to train for and benefit her soccer games as well! We planned on running every night that she didn't have soccer practice, but it hardly worked out as we planned!
So the day came to run. I sent her with her dad because I was babysitting, hoping she would be able to finish the mile without walking too much!
Randy said he was so proud of her! He saw girls coming in so he started looking way down the race for her, but she had already past him! You can see her back side as she's passing the finish line.
She ran with 78 third and second graders, and came in 13th. The first 15 places got a medal... she was so happy! But she was even more happy when her picture made it in the paper!

Way to go Avery! RAndy got some good pictures. I was video-cording so I put some on the snap shots and got pictures of Shaye's leg in the corner. :)
