Quinn's Race

Quinn ran her first race this past week.  The race was a city-wide event for students K-6th grade.  That said, this was the year Quinn was going to run it if she ever wanted the chance! She will be too old next year.

Quinn did an amazing job throughout the mile long course - especially given the fact that the only practice she truly had was the couple of times she ran the mile run in gym class!

Here is a  pre-race picture with her friend, Maddie...

Ms. Dodi, Maddie's mom, happened to see this sign in the crowd for another runner named Quinn.  Being the social butterfly that she is, she marched over and asked if she could borrow the sign for a minute!  Here is Quinn with her friend Maddie, and Maddie's sisters, Helen and Emma.  

At the starting line...

And during the race....

Quinn finished with a time of 8:23 - a fabulous time for someone who doesn't consider herself a runner!  She did an amazing job!

Waiting at the finish line was her proud dad, along with Sullivan and Grandma Jane.  Thankfully Grandma Jane made it into Indy with just enough time to make it to the field to watch Quinn run! 

Way to go, Quinner!  We are SO proud of you!
