....a challenge indeed. Although one of the most scenic races throughout Kansas City, it was HILLY...but I did manage finished in 3rd place right in front of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (even if wasn't a stellar time). It was a GORGEOUS day for a race. I used this raced as a training run for NYC and I'm feeling it today...just about everywhere. I did still go to yoga and it hurt so good! And OH..............this girl is touching her toes! Yes. My nasty toes. I can touch them. A small victory to some, but HUGE for me. It only took 12 weeks of yoga to get there!
Anyway....the kids competed in the Dean Karnazes kids race. If you don't know who this guy is, just google him! He has some amazing and quirky running accolades....like running 50 marathons, in 50 states in 50 consecutive days. Oh, but he didn't stop there...he ran his last of the 50 marathons in NYC then ran all the way back to St. Louis (1300 additional miles). CRAZY...but inspiring! He is all about healthy living and his initiative of "No Child Left Inside"...a movement to get kids OUTSIDE and active. The kids ran the 1K and all of them ran the entire way. Jason and I were very proud parents and the kids were elated to finish and get their very own medal.
