Pumpkin Run 2008

The "Run for the Pumpkin" has been happening in Lethbridge for over 20 years. It is a cross-country run. It's a lot of fun and caters to kids. At the end of the run you get to pick out a pumpkin. This was Nali's first year as well as her cousin Hailey's first year. My brother and I ran the 2 km race with the girls, then we did the 5 km race.
Nali took a little bit of encouragment about 1/2 in. She was SO excited during the beginning and just ran with it. As she'd start to struggle I'd point out people along the course that were cheering her on.
She'd get SO excited when she'd see them.
It was a lot of fun running it with her! I can't wait to do it next year!
Finishing strong. My little runner. 17 minutes for 2 km's!
