Ready to go!  We lined up and the announcer said go!  We started running.  I was touching the cones on the road for a little bit.  Then I saw Dad running on the sidewalk and I said hi.  Then I gave him my sweatshirt because I was hot. He ran back to the starting line so he can do his race.
Then my legs started to get sore.  They really, really hurt. But Mom said to keep it up and I made it to the aid station.  I drank some water and poured the rest on my head.  I started running again with Mom and my legs still hurt.

At the end I got food and a massage from Daddy.  That was my favorite part!
