Mankato Marathon Expo and Kids K

pointing to where we signed our name; I looked for our names on the 2014 banner, but couldn't find them.

My little runner!

hair coloring!

face painting, too. and daddy got in on the fun!

She was determined to do this one on her own.

here she comes!

from the start, I ran over to the first leg if you will. She was tired, but hanging in there.
She told me to run with her at this point!

I don't think she was happy with me when I kept going ahead of her. It was to get pictures, push her a little to keep running, and trying to give her the satisfaction of doing it by herself like she wanted.

She was so excited that I let her get a Nathan water bottle like mine (but smaller).
She insisted on carrying it with her like I do on my long runs.

It may have been a distraction from time to time.

Almost there!

This picture was shared on their facebook page this summer; I was so shocked to open the 2015 Mankato Marathon guide and see her picture on the KidsK page! What a doll! I am really sad that I can't find the book! I hope it is tucked away in one of my bags and not left behind in the hotel room!

She's so cute! I love that she carried her water bottle with her. My daughter likes to have her own water bottle when we run too.
