ARIEL’S RACE

I was with Daddy before the race. The starter said go! People were running past me. Daddy and I ran and ran and told stories. We also talk to a couple older girls and Daddy says, "see you made some friends already."  Then Daddy left me to go to run in his race. I was little scared to be running alone. After that, I saw my Mom crossing a bridge above me. She called my name and waved at me. I said "Hi Mom!". I knew I was close to the bridge. I finally got to the bridge and saw a lot of people below. I ran through a pretty park. There was a man playing weird music. Then I saw Mom waving at me and calling my name. Mom helped me finish the race. And I got a medal! I was glad to do the race and I was okay running alone. (No race pictures of Ariel appeared to have been taken =/).

ANNA’S RACE

Start

I got in my place at the starting line and started doing exercises.

Then they said, "on your mark, get set, go!" I started off running. I felt good. I saw different kids as I passed them. We turned and turned as the course went on. I saw the 1mile sign. I kept running and saw the 2mile sign. I got some water at the aid station. Then I kept running and saw my mom running towards me. She gave me a high five. I saw a girl and a boy running with their dad I tried to stay in front of them. I heard them say that we were close to the finish line. Then I saw the finish line and sprinted. I finished!
