Avery's First Race!

Last weekend Avery's school had a Family Fun Run as a fundraiser. Avery said she wanted to run it with me so I signed us up. It was just a 2K, but I figured that was perfect for Avery's first race and my first one since having Lakelyn. It called for rain that morning, but we were hoping that it would hold off until the race was over...that didn't happen. As we were standing at the start line waiting for the race to begin it began to pour down! Needless to say we got soaked! Not too long after we took off it slowed up and eventually stopped, but we ran that race completely soaked to the bone! Avery was such a trooper and I am so proud of her! I told her we would go her pace and walk when she wanted to walk (which was not often and when she did it was only for a few steps and then she was ready to take off again.) I think I got a little runner on my hands! I hope this is something that we can continue to do together!
