Cookie Classic 5K - I can't believe I ate them!

One of the things I like about the Toledo Roadrunners club is that they put on fun runs, often with crazy themes.  The theme for this race was cookies.  We run to the halfway point, eat two cookies, and run back.  I'm down with that for sure!!!  Another plus was that the race was it was just over a mile from our house.
So we convinced the kids to run another 5K.  It wasn't too hard.  I just said "want to go to a run?  We get to eat cookies!".  It was a little chilly for the run, but not too bad considering it's February.  It was a "girl power" day, so I got to run with Sydney.  She did really good!  We got the half way point and got to enjoy our really big, soft and sweet, sugar cookies.  yum!  Sydney sprinted at the end and it was hard to keep up with her.

Here are the boys coming in for a strong finish.  Zack was sprinting fast at the end.  Alan reported that he had to hold him back from taking off to too early and being exhausted at the finish line.

 Sydney won a pair of glasses at the giveaway after the race.  She's styling!!
