This is our second year to run the Friends of the River Run. We absolutely loved it last year! There is a mini mile where you can run or walk and kids as well as dogs do this event. There is also a 3.4 mile run. There are of course awards but the best part of the race is the party afterwards. Yes, it truly is a party! There are several different restaurants that come and bring foods for us to eat as well as a band that plays. It is a blast! We promised to return every year and so far so good. This year we invited our good friends Billy and Shelley Shelton.
Last year I did the 3.4 mile run while pregnant with Abby and this year I pushed her along in the mini mile so that Jake could participate in it. What a sight to see. He and his friend and the Shelton's son Jacob ran & walked together while I chased behind with a camera snapping shots and yelling at them to stay nearby and inside the cones. Shelley also came along for the run or walk for her. She had sprained her ankle a few weeks ago while playing soccer and she now has to walk in a boot. Needless to say she is a trooper. She walked the route and kept up with us as well as walked her dog, Savannah. Jon and Billy ran the 3.4 race and did great! I know Jon had a PR...awesome! Here are just a few of the pics of the mini mile.
