The red ribbon race was a huge success! Rachael was determined to do the race. We woke up to wind, cold, rain, then eventually, SNOW! Supe had a soccer game, Ethan had a football game. They could not participate. I think Rachael just thought this was her race. We started out running it together, and Rachael finished ahead of her dear mother. I could tell she was sad to leave me in the dust. I am so happy to finally have a runner in the family! Those lanky little legs just sped her right to the finish line. It was fun to watch her run past people in Supe's grade. If you can't tell, I am overly proud. Good job Rachey!!

You continue to amaze all of the rest of us. Well, you actually leave us in the dust --- so, don't feel badly about Rachel doing so to you. :)
You're incredible!!!
What can't you do?????? :)
Congratulations to Rachel! And to you for running too. (Anyone who is a runner needs some sort of acknowledgement from those of us who will NEVER be runners. Actually, we're just worried about runners' sanity.) It was an awful day to be running, but way to go!
Way to go Rachel! I love watching my son, Jacob, run. He has those long lanky runner's legs and a fabulously relaxed, long stride. I think he will be more of a short distance (400 m or so) runner rather than sprinter. I'd love him to do cross-country or something like that in high school. Although football and basketball are fun team sports, I think having a "life" sport is so important to being happy as an adult. Keep encouraging Rachel! She sounds like a natural, and how great is it to have something you can do together? Keep running!
Wow, I am a very proud Aunt! I had no idea Rach was going to be a runner! Now let's ditch dancing and cheerleading and go for Track, a truly wonderful sport. Yeah for Rachael. I love the picture.
