Our group gathered together with Blake setting out with the twins to run the race, while the rest of us took a nice stroll through the course. We joked that it was fitting that we were at the back of the race pack. :) The kids did pretty well - Mae rode in the stroller for about half. My friend B helped push the stroller for about 2/3rds of the race (thank you!) Ace did pretty well, but his hands were pretty cold. He was pretty excited when he got a GIANT leaf to hold for a while.
We finished the race just as the kid's dash was beginning - which means we finished at just about 55 minutes after we began. We jogged in - Mae was a bit unnerved by mommy jogging with her in the Ergo carrier, but she did ok. Afterwards we stayed for the award ceremony - where Katie was awarded a pretty 'legit' (her husband's word for it) plaque for having the largest team (27 adults with several babies not included in that number!) We grabbed a few pictures of the whole group, and with my camera we snapped this shot of our portion of the group. :)
We were glad we were able to come out and support Katie in this way through her journey and help raise money and awareness on colon cancer. To continue to support Katie, please stop by her CaringBridge site and sign her Guest Book.

That is awesome. What a great group. Way to bring about awareness and I am sure her spirits were lifted knowing that you were all out there for her.
