Thanksgiving 4 Miler

 Thanksgiving 4 Miler in the books. Matilda again beat me (34:20 vs 36:08). But it was some of the fastest miles we have both run. She was bummed she got 4th in her age group, but it is just motivation to keep going for next year.

Halloween 2022

 

For weeks Bea has wanted to be a butterfly. 

But right before going out decided to change into a ballerina costume. 

Hermione approves. 

Great Pumpkin 10K

 So proud of this girl. Last year she saw Craig run the Great Pumpkin 10K and wanted to do it, too. So she and I started a couch to 10K program in April with the plan to complete it at the race this year. We had our ups and downs all summer (running in the heat sucks) and scheduling in the fall, but she achieved her goal! And she CREAMED me. She ran with our neighbor Lucas and they pulled ahead at 1.5 miles. 😂 Matilda finished in 55:50, I finished in 58:20. She won first place for her age group (she was the only under 18 female.) and I won nothing. Onto speed work this winter to do better next year.
