Waverly completes her 8th 5K today!
While Dad was running (if you want to call it running) a half today in Flagstaff, Arizona this morning, Waverly, 10, ran her 8th career 5K and 3rd career Run The Woodlands 5K (#135) in 43:57!
Her mom, Gena, paced her (in 44:00) in preparation for Waverly to run the course in two weeks by herself. (She's doing this because when she does the Klein HS Bearkat Bash 5K in four weeks, Dad will be running the 10K. I've run the 5K with her the last two years.)
When I talked to her on the phone as I was driving back from Flagstaff, she said she had a little problem with something that she had eaten in the last day or so just before the finish line. (I'll leave out the specific details. This is a family-style running blog.)
Waverly's a bigger girl for her age and her height, 5'1", as she is built a little more like Dad so I'm especially proud of her for completing yet another 5K without maybe as much ramp-up time as before.
Plus she was the first in her age group!
