Rockstars!

Sydney and a few friends have been training for the Rock 'n Roll marathon "Kids Rock" race.  The idea is to run 25 miles ahead of time, and then complete the last mile of the marathon at the official race.  It has really been a lot of fun, and a great experience.  We meet up with these girls after school and run at least a mile about 3 times per week.

One of the fun things about this race is the orange laces.  All of the kids were given orange shoe laces, as a pledge to being physically active.  I love that idea. While we waited for race time, girls wanted to pose with the big shoe and the big orange laces:

Here's my runner girl:

The kids ran by their grade levels, so Neve went first, with the second graders.  Go Neve, go!

And shortly after, here come the 4th graders!

They stuck together for the first lap.

But then Syd decided she was going to be the first one done :)

Yep, I passed you...

And then of course, goodies at the end is always a huge plus!  They got some Jamba Juice, bagels, sports drink, and oranges.  Yum!

Congrats girls!  Great job, can't wait to do it again!
