Cheryl ran in her first race today, the 17th Annual Frank Kush 5K, which was held at Tempe Town Lake. Being a true family event, people were encouraged to bring their kids and their furry children (i.e., dogs). As always, you can click on any of the photos for a larger image.
There was a pretty good turnout for the event.
I provided the morale support.
Cheryl's pumped up and ready to go!
The early morning light was reflecting so nicely off the bottom of the old Mill Avenue bridge.
They're off! The winner (see red arrow) finished the 5k in just over 16 minutes!
I tried my best to get a shot of Cheryl as she ran by, but the best I could do was capture her head and one leg. Interestingly enough, there was a young man running with a log. Cheryl said he almost whacked her in the head with it a couple of times during the race.
Here's Cheryl on top of the bridge, just a few minutes from the finsh line.
She did it! I timed this photo just right, as her time is recorded (above to the right of her head). Cheryl had a goal of finishing the race in 40 minutes, but to her delight she beat her time by almost 2 minutes!
