Well since life is shut down, there was not GOTR race this year. So, we did our own. Nothing fancy, unless you count post-race skittles. :) Emmy and I ran once a week together, and then Emmy would usually do another shorter run or 2 during the week. Jonas "trained" sporadically for it with Aiden. Miles decided to run it the night before - without ever having run more than 2 miles (and that was back in the 8th grade).
And Miles took 1st. Of course. That's how life usually works, right?! It was great, though, and everyone did awesome. I was proud of Miles, Jonas, and Emmy. Lucy and Ben were our cheerleaders - they rode their bikes and would cheer for us at various points on the route. (We did the same GOTR route they always do.)
Ready to go . . .
Jonas running over the bridge - maybe about the half-way mark?
Emmy and I on it. Miles had already passed this point a minute or to before.
Go, go Miles!
All done! Awesome! It was a beautiful morning for it. Official times: Miles - 24:52, Jonas - 26:15, Emmy - 26:25, Me - 27:00. (Emmy and I pretty much ran the whole thing together. And I was pushing Emmy - myself, too - because I knew she wanted a better time than our last "training" run. On the way back over the bridge I encouraged her to "push it" and she kicked it up a notch. I was already pushing it and so I stay a bit behind . . . :) )
A Fun Family Five-K.

Who took all the pictures?! This is such a fun idea. Way to go Maxwells! Except Miles. It still makes me mad. :)
