This morning, I ran the Duck Dash 5K with some of my running pals, and Katie Anne ran the kids' half-mile Duck Fun Run! These races are fundraisers for Advocates for Bartow's Children - they're part of the Duck Derby fundraising activities. The races were fun and challenging, and KA and I both did a great job! I got my fastest 5K time so far - 32 minutes! Katie Anne did a great job on her fun run, too. She ran the whole time and got a medal! Saunders, SJ, and Gigi came out to support us - and took pictures, too! It was a great family morning out. Here are some pictures of the fun.

Katie Anne took off from the starting line as fast as she could!
There she goes - speedster!

Whew- she did it!

I asked Katie Anne if she ran as fast as a cheetah - which is what she said she was going to do. Katie Anne told me, "I ran as fast as a werewolf !!!"
SJ ran his own pretend race in the parking lot to show off his skills, too.
Katie Anne earned a medal for her hard work!
