Bluff Ridge 5K

We finished! !!!!! Every year Bluff Ridge Elementary holds a 5k fundraiser. They get the kids pretty pumped up about it. Preslie came home one day inviting all of us to run the 5k race with her. I explained how long a 5k is and she was confident that she could do it. The next morning Preslie and I put on our running shoes to go for a little run. I was curious to know if she could really do this. We started off at our corner and was walking by the time we got to the next corner. We finally made it around our block which is a half of a mile. Preslie was exhausted. I explained that we would have to run that 5 more times to equal a 5K. She stayed confident. Race day came and we were all ready with our matching shirts. The race started and Preslie didn't stop. She did awesome. I think the motivation with all of her friends surrounding her made it that much more fun for her. She was a trooper, finishing it BEET RED. It was a fun family outing. After the race the school had a carnival where they got to play games, got their face painted, ate dinner and won MORE FISH. AHHHH. Preslie and Mayci both won a fish bringing them home to meet our other fish Whiney who is yes still alive. Mayci named her fish Princess Sparkle Pants and Preslie named hers Jewels. Gotta love Gold Fish.
