#44 Durham: Go Fast Go Faarrgh 5K

After Grace’s 5K last month, Lucy had really been looking forward to a fun run, and this race, which billed itself as a “Festival of Running,” fit the bill perfectly. I started off with the 5K, which was actually just three loops around the Durham fairgrounds, a little boring but pretty fast. Next up was the “Bean Race,” which Lucy ran, and after that, it was time for the half-mile, which Grace ran. There were more kids races than I imagined possible, for different ages, different distances, and so on, and I think the girls had a great time. Lucy actually ran without any of us, just holding the hand of a “mentor,” a teenager who had volunteered to help the kids around. She didn’t really need it, and even left her mentor in the dust a few times. She’s ready for more, for sure.
