Macklind Mile

Quiet possibly one of the best races in St. Louis is the Macklind Mile. It's one mile, all down hill and it just super laid back and fun. Although, as my dad says, as soon as you put on a race number and there is a clock, it is impossible not to care or get nervous. And I did both! I wanted to get a good time and run fast. I have been doing speedwork with Big River all summer and it is has been super fun and challenging. So today was a good test of all our hard work! Tripp had such a good time- he has been looking forward to this race for a really long time- he even slept in his shirt last night! I was so proud of him and I love sharing this experience with him!!

 Crankypants* also joined us for the morning:

*we just discovered she has two more teeth coming in, so maybe that could explain her extra crankiness the past few days?
