we made a quick lunch and changed into race gear after church to get to the viking victory run on time. this race benefits all of the elementary schools and the middle school and this is the largest year yet with around 1,000 participants.
we live within walking distance, much to madelyn's dismay. on our walk we discovered that their race numbers were sequential (matt, mason, madelyn and maddux were running the 1 mile together).

manning and i waited patiently by the finish line. isn't he cute?
and here they come! it was neat to see elementary schoolers finish as the top 5 spots.

madelyn came up a little behind them running with her friend ella - in the middle of this picture.
they were all so happy to be done. mason and matt were the only ones to run the whole mile. and matt ran the first half with maddux on his shoulders! madelyn said that she and ella walked some of the way.
this is such a super event for the families. i enjoyed getting to catch up with friends too. love.
