CNN Marathon

Again this year, the YMCA after care program had a running club that built up to running the final 1.2 miles of the Twin Cities marathon. Starshine has been looking forward to it all year, so she signed up eagerly. Jr. Princess, however, was disappointed because she didn't meet the minimum age requirement - bummer. She is an awesome support crew, though, making a cute "Super Starshine" sign to wave near the finish line.

So, last Sunday Jr. Princess and I went down as the cheering section for Starshine and M&M Dad, who volunteered to run, too, this year. She did great! We didn't see any other elementary aged girls run by ahead of her, and M&M Dad said she was totally squirming her way to the front of the start line to get a fast start.

After the race, there were snacks and medals, but we were all disappointed there was no visit from Jillian Michaels like last year. Oh well, we had to head out to go to the Twins game anyway. It was quite the busy day.
