Racing Stripes

Isa ran in the kids' Med-City Marathon last Saturday. She logged the 1st 25 miles by running/walking every day before school at the playground with other kids who were going to run in the race. The school allowed the kids to come early to run/walk for about 4-6 weeks before the race. Saturday was the BIG day - where the kids run the final 1.2 miles. Isa had a lot of fun - she seems to be so free and happy when she is running.
"Friends" viewers: does she remind you of Phoebe running??

Lucy and Jack and I cheered on Isa as she took off, then we headed to the finish line. Half-way through we met up with Isa and the other runners, where Jack was his helpful 2-year old self and picked up empty cups from the trail to put in the garbage (notice Jack heading the opposite direction of the runners)

I missed Isa coming across the finish line because Jack was on the loose in the crowd, but when I did see Isa, she was smiling and had just dumped the ceremonial cup of water over her head!
