Run, run as fast as you can

Sarah has been part of running club this year and has really loved it.  She likes the physical activity and being able to talk with friends while she runs.

Today, Sarah had her second race for running club.  The race was 2 miles in a nearby park.  There were 4 elementary schools there.  They started them in waves by gender and grade.  Sarah ran well and ended up getting the 8th place ribbon (for first grade girls) by sprinting ahead of her friend at the finish line.  She was super excited and was talking about it all night.  One of her friends from church was there and also got 8th in the Kindergarten girls so they celebrated together.
