On the 24th of July we woke up bright and early to head downtown and run in a mile race before the parade. Megan has done it for a couple of years and this year Tyler and Emily wanted to try it. We arrived at the starting line with plenty of time to spare only to find the race had been canceled this year. (It would have been nice if that info would have been posted on the website). Well, just because there wasn't an organized race didn't stop the kids from running. The race should have started at 18th street and finished on 26th street. Our parade spot was on 30th street and so, Megan, Tyler, Emily (for a few blocks) ran with Cade, Mark, and Jacob to 30th street. They made it in record time almost a mile and a half.
There were so many people on the streets that no one even noticed they were doing their own race.
The proud runners at the "finish line." Hopefully the donuts and juice on the curb made up for not having a real race. We hope next year we'll have better luck!
