Two weekends of RUNNING

The Salem Country Relays (formerly Jaycee Relays) took place on May 14th. Anna was on the co-ed team and had a fun time, especially in the parade as you can see.



The weekend before, on May 7th, was the Awesome 3000, a great fundraiser for the Salem/Keizer Education Foundation....

Anna finishes her race.....with her best time ever!

Rachel is slower and steady, but endures to the end without stopping....and finishes in excellent time!

My kids have been participating in these races since 1999....we are almost at the end of an Awesome 3000 era at our house. I'll miss the races, but not the parking!
