Mercer Island Kids Dash 2011

This morning Oli ran the Mercer Island Kid's Dash - a 1/2 mile all out sprint for the little guy.  He finished in 10th place (something he spent all day contesting) and left it on all the course.  He tried so hard and was doubled-over with burning lungs across the finish line.  We were amongst all of the proud parents. 



He jumped the gun but who can blame a kid!

Crossing the finish line....

Oli isn't the only one who did some running this weekend...Julia had her first fall on asphalt while running and has a skinned nose and forehead (and a bloody nose) to prove it.  Picture hardly shows it but she deserves all the sympathy she can get - Poor baby!

And last but not least, Brett did the most running out of everybody...13.1 miles!  He completed the Mercer Island Half Marathon today.  Has he been training?  Yes!  Infact, he is training for a full marathon and not just any marathon - Boston Marathon on April 18th!  Boston, here we come!
