Gator Gallop 5K

Ashley and I ran our first trail run this morning at Sun n' Lake Preserve in Sebring. It was such a fun run! I was nervous because trail running is much different than running on pavement. You have to be so careful about your foot placement. Our pace was slower than usual, but it's because we were literally running over tree roots, dodging water puddles, and crossing bridges. We even saw an alligator as we ran past a pond! Mammy, ran the race, too. All three of us won our age groups! We were thrilled!  Bear and Marlee hung out with Jeremy and Ben while we ran the race and had a fun time throwing rocks in the creek and splashing in mud puddles!  :)
Why did we have to wake up so early this morning Mommy???
Before the race...ready to run!
 Throwing rocks in the creek :)
Splashing in mud puddles while waiting for Mommy:)
 YAY!!!  We all won 1st place in the race for our age group!!!
Marlee thought Mommy's medal was so cool! :)
