Last weekend my friend, Nina, and I ran the four mile Poultry Predictor Race in Redmond, WA. The course was a beautiful four mile out and back course that had a 300 foot elevation gain for the first two miles. The goal of the race is to predict your finishing time with accuracy. Watches weren't allowed on the course and the top five winners walked away with frozen turkeys.
The Poultry Predictor is a small local race with less than a hundred participants in a beautiful picturesque pastoral setting. Jeff arrived at the finish with Eva in tow and our little two year old quickly surveyed the scene and declared, "There's no bounce house." This statement confirmed our suspicions that her life is just one bounce house after another. She lives a pretty sweet life.
Eva's reality is also surrounded by all things athletic and we're beginning to see the residual effects of her sporty introduction to life. She runs laps around our kitchen island for her imaginative play and then does push ups, squats, and bicep curls in between. We've got it on film and it's really hilarious. I love seeing her at the finish line of races and look forward to seeing what kind of passion she will find in life that will fuel her in the way that Stroller Strides and running does for me.
you must post the video of eva's circuit!!
