Lil ran a 10k

Here she comes around the corner, almost done:

She tried to pose for the camera while running:

She made it in an hour, I was impressed.
If you notice the very black clouds in the background, minutes after Lil made it in, it started to pour. The rain was coming down hard AND it was blowing bad. We (Ray's mom and the girls were with me) took refuge under the canopy you can see behind Lil in the last picture. It was semi-effective, aside from the fact that the wind kept blowing it over. Just as the rain started, Ray and his grandma got to the park. They joined us under the canopy. Before the rain started the park was packed with people. It was kind-of entertaining to watch the crowds scatter. The rain only lasted about five minutes, then the sun came out and it was a fairly nice day. But all the people were gone so the line for food was much shorter.
