Briggs & Al's Run

Today Steve competed in the Briggs and Al's Run. The whole family registered to participate, but that fell through. I was planning to walk the 5k with the double stroller while Steve would run the 8k, but it was freezing and windy, so we scratched that plan. Plan B was for Steve to go by himself, but Ava was really excited about the race. This is because she had her own xs t-shirt and racing number to pin onto that t-shirt, so plan C prevailed. Ava braved the cold and rode in the jogger stroller for Steve's 8k. She cheered "Go Daddy, go!" starting from the 5 mile marker to the finish line. Thanks to all that encouragement, Coop completed the 8k in 36 minutes and 39 seconds, placing 369 out of 3,185 runners. Good job, Coop!
