On The Run - Part 1

It's springtime again in Kansas City, which means it's the start of running and biking season.  Last week we kicked off the season with the Trolley Run, a 4-mile run that follows the route of a (you guessed it!) old trolley track path.  The Trolley Run is a lot of fun because not only does it have a 4-mile run for Scott and me, it also has a kid's run that Lincoln has participated in for the last two years.   I ran a personal best of 40 minutes - although in the interest of disclosure, all of the previous years I've run I've either been pregnant or pushing a stroller.

For Lincoln's run, he got his very own number and got to "race" about ten yards.  


Just like the "big" race, there was also a lot of free food and drinks for the participants.  Lincoln cooled off with a glass of juice and filled up on a chocolate-chip muffin.  They also had face painting and balloon animals.



At the end of the race Lincoln received a blue ribbon, which is now proudly displayed on our fridge.  Next year we're looking forward to Guy running.
