Dan and Aly before the race

Aly has been wanting to run a 5K for a while.  However, training time has been sporadic.  Today was the annual 5K and parade in our church community.  The church has participated in the parade for a couple years, and a few people have even run the 5K.  Dan has before.  This year Dan, Aly, Sharon, Doug, Lewis, Michelle, Priscilla, and Lorin ran.  (I am NO runner).  Dan wasn't racing for time because he was still recovering from the Boston.  He ran the race with Aly.  She was SO excited to do this.

And they are off...Dan, Aly, Priscilla and you can see a little bit of Michelle and Lorin.  Doug, Sharon, and Lewis were right behind them.  I should take this opportunity to point out that Skyeler and Victoria walked the 5K.  They started in the back.

Aly crossing the finish line by the timer.  That's 33 minutes and 52 seconds.  She ran the whole way!  No stops for walking or anything.  We were so proud of her.  After he crossed the finish line, Dan went back and ran with each of our friends as they crossed the line.  Lorin and Sharon and I think Lewis had already finished by this time.  I should take this opportunity to mention that Skyeler came in dead last.  She did walk the whole thing with Tori but walk might be too strong of a word.  Amble may be better LOL!
