Three on Thursday, Week 19: the Awesome 3000
The Awesome is awesome! It is crazy how much I like this race: all the excitement of thousands of kids as the get ready for their big race, the cheering adults. It is such a fun day.
Soren's race was 1500 meters again this year. That still seems like a long way for a 1st grader to run, doesn't it?
This year we met up with some of his old friends, new friends, and book club friends.
This is the point that I ran away. Boys in the woods, naturally progresses to boys with big sticks, which ends up at someone being chased. Fortunately, Bill here was quite a sport. And didn't get too bashed (though a little dirty) by an army of boys attacking him.
Awesome.
