Bailey ran the 2011 Harrison Classic today. A one-mile run/walk for kids 13 and under. We were in the last group to go, with the strollers, as Sydney and I ran and walked it with Bailey. Daddy was on-call yesterday and had cases today. We saw Magnus and Scott at the start as well.
It was a beautiful fall afternoon--sunny and in the upper 60's. We started off running but soon switched to walking. We went back and forth the whole mile. I told Bailey it was fine to walk and take a rest--I wanted her to have FUN! She sure did. She got an apple, string cheese, organic baby carrots, and chocolate milk at the end. And, a medal for finishing! On the walk back to the car, she told me she wanted to get some more (race) numbers so she could have five in her room to play with. I think I will start a binder with all her race numbers. It was a great day!

Wish I had kept all of my race numbers! Next year maybe I won't be at the Portland marathon and can see the kids run this one. Love, MOM
Good idea Susie! This Grandma doesn't have any race numbers. Looks like I need to get busy! Good job Bailey!
