Ariel's 1/2 mile Race.
I ate breakfast. Had to hurry to the starting line. I'm happy and not scared. We started. Anna is running with me. Daddy, too. I feel like I'm running fast. I'm smiling. Daddy says I'm doing good. It's raining just a little and I like the wetness on me when I feel hot. It's getting tiring now. Here comes the finish line. Yay! They give me a ribbon for finishing. I'm glad to back with my parents and Grammie &
Papa. I'm glad they were watching me run.
Anna's 5k Race.
My Mom & Dad put a trashbag over me to keep me dry from the rain. Luckily it's not raining right now. I pray with my family. I have a lot of energy right now. I do a little stretching. The race director says, "10, 9, 8, 7, … 1.. Go!" I start running. I run with Grammie until we cross the starting line then I run ahead by myself.
1mi: My legs are starting to really hurt now.
1.5mi: I come to an aid station and give them my trash bag and drink
a cup of water.
2mi: I see the finish line, but the cones make us turn another way and continue running. I'm getting very tired. I'm glad I didn't get cramps this time, but my legs did hurt the whole time.
3mi: I turn and see the finish line up ahead. I'm running as fast as I can to get there! I was really happy that I finished. I wait for Grammie to also finish. I wait about 6 min and then I see her. I give her a hug when she finishes. We both did good. I was 4th and Grammie was 2nd.
