About a month ago, Joel ran the Shoreline Classic 15K (9.3 miles) back in Decatur. He did really well and the three of us girls had a fun time watching him.
You'll notice the big smile on Joel's face and the kind gentleman in the foreground of the picture below... as soon as Cora spotted Daddy running by, she proceeded to charge right out into the intersection. Mommy is so thankful that this man was willing and able to catch her!
After Daddy finished running, the girls ran the "Tiny Tot Trot" - a 50 yard dash for ages 5 and under. Cora experienced the usual "first race meltdown" (see Mim's here: http://joelsteele.blogspot.com/2009/05/mims-first-race.html) but they both did great and finished on their own two feet. They received numbered bibs, medals and a goody bag just like Daddy and also got balloons and the chance to jump in bouncy houses!
