Race Day


Six weeks ago Clarissa decided that, as part of her effort to get back in shape after having Caily, she wanted to run a 5k. She signed up early and found a running program to help her meet her goal. She has been determined this whole time and worked really hard to be ready for race day. Today was that day. Here are some pictures from the track.

Clarissa gets her number.

Caily puts her race face on.

Stretching out in the staging area.

...and she's off!

Rounding the first bend

I ran the last 1/4 mile with her and cheered her in.

Crossing the finish line at 34 mins 33 secs

Walking it out

Congratulations Clarissa on running the entire race, farther than you ever have before, and a great finish!

I saw it with my own Two eyes. Clarissa was a speed demon. We didn't even have time to chat during the race because Clarissa finished so fast.
