Lincoln's First Run

Last weekend the Hauner/King clan participated in the Trolley Run. Scott, Tracy, Mike, Joni's brother Neil, and I all ran the regular Trolley run. Lincoln has "run" the the race last two years with me, but this year he entered on his own and did the Kid's Trolley Run. They even gave him a number! The "adult" race is 4 miles, but luckily they didn't make Lincoln run that far. Prior to the race, I gave him some advice on how to pace himself.

As you can see, he got a great start.  Even though it was cold that morning, he was a trooper and ran really fast.  It helped that he "carb loaded" prior to the race by eating an entire lemon poppyseed muffin.
At the finish line they gave him a blue ribbon.  Okay, this isn't *his* finish line, but it's a good photo!  His actual run was actually about 10 yards total.
I think that everyone that ran were happy with their finish times.  Hopefully this is the first of many Trolley Runs for Lincoln.
