Another 5k

Last year Jon decided to run a 5k for the Ogden Standard-Examiner Classic. We all went to cheer him on at the finish line and noticed there were very few young kids doing it compared to the school 5k. We thought maybe Savannah could enter and actually come in the top 3, since we only saw 1 or 2 other little girls there. We know that Savannah does very well for her age but always seems to be outdone by just a little. We told her that maybe she should enter this 5k with Jon this year and she agreed in hopes she would win something. Last year, they had an age group of 0-10 year olds but this year, unfortunately it was 1-14. That pretty much sealed her fate of not coming in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. The other thing that didn't help her was that she hadn't been running all that much and was slower than she was for the school one back in May.

Crossing the finish line.

Immediately after (w/wet shirt).

Group having "breakfast", waiting for results.


The morning was pretty cold and her race shirt was an adult Small so she had a t-shirt on under her race shirt. As the race went on she got hot and stripped the top one off. Then she was still hot and dumped water on herself at one of the water stations. By the time she finished she wasn't too hot, but within about 5 minutes, she wanted her other shirt back on and was shivering cold. Hopefully, lesson learned. Here are the race results:

I agree that she should stick with running. Perhaps on the cross country team at school or something. Pretty cool! There was no way I would've done this at the age of 9. I was riding my hot wheels and reading in bad light.
