although it just snowed last weekend, today is forecast to hit 90+! many of the runners were commenting on how they haven't gotten to run in hot weather yet this year. and there was not a cloud to be seen! we slathered up the sunscreen (and i still got an awkward capri burn on the backs of my calves).
matt was running both races with the kids - mason and maddux for the one mile and then madelyn for the 5k. because he is amazing.
unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for matt, the kids couldn't handle the heat. mason walked a little with a cramp so the mile was a little slow going.

once the boys crossed the finish line i gathered them up and hustled over to work traffic control on the 5k route with the elementary school pto.
we were optimistic about madelyn's race. she has been participating in the "girls on the run" after school and running twice a week. she wasn't excited about the 5k at all. i didn't get to see them start or finish, but it sounds like i saw how it went - madelyn cried and walked.
in her defense, it was very hot and she wasn't feeling her best. and she finished. matt didn't mind that she walked too much because it meant he wasn't going to be crippled tomorrow since he hasn't had time to run in a very, very long time.
the race was at an all time high with over 2,000 runners this year! we love that we get to do this race every year and support the local schools. love.
