Running with wings like eagles (or legs like chickens)

This morning was the Roseville Run for the Roses.

The girls and I went out to see mom finish the 10K event.

After the 10k, I ran a 1/2 mile “fun” run with the girls.

“Thing 1” led the family near the beginning of the pack. (This is her just off the finish line)

I stuck with Thing 2 (trying to keep up). Here she is picking up the pace as we approach the finish line… She passed me and beat me across the line at the last minute:

The youngest sat and cheered us on. At the end of each race, each winner recieved a Rose. She picked this clover, and gave it to Mom after the 10K race. I think mom appreciated the clover more than the rose.
