It was perfect. We looked fantastic.
We had a blast.The girls ran every step.
They were fast (at least for 3 and 5 year olds).
Smiles were all around.
The only negative was that it was COLD. Like Arctic cold, at least it felt that way. (OK, it was 37 degrees - which is only cold if you live in the South). Seriously, look at the girls pre-race ...
Dilly was bundled up too ...
Other than the bone-chilling temperatures, the race was a success. Dizzle (age 5) finished her mile in 12:08 (16 seconds faster than she's ever run a mile before).
And Doodle (age 3) ran a half mile in 6:34.
And since it was their race, I figured they should write the recap. Except that they don't quite have a way with words like their mother. So, instead, I debriefed them on the race. Here's what they said ...Did you have fun?
Dizzle: "Yes! It was super fun!"
Doodle: "Yes."
What was the best part?
Dizzle: "Getting to the finish line."
Doodle: "Winning." (apparently she missed the fact that tons of people were ahead of her)
What was the worst part?
Dizzle: "When we started to slow down."
Doodle: "When my fingers got really cold."
Would you do it again? (not that they really have a choice)
Dizzle: "Yes! But, next time, can it be in the Summer?"
Doodle: "Yes! But, it has to be longer for the next race." (I think I have an endurance junkie on my hands.)

You guys look too adorable!
Congrats to the girls :)
PS - I just showed this to my 4-yr-old and she asked: "Why don't the kids get medals?" Apparently it will be all about the bling for her.
LOVE IT!! :D Your girls are rockstars!! :D
You three looked adorable. And, 37 degrees is freezing cold here in the Northwest too! We ran in gloves, hats, long sleeves and running tights at that temperature last weekend. You girls are tough!

What fun! Glad the girls had their first chance to race and blog. You better watch out!
Definite vote for mom-of-the-year. LOVE your outfits!! Too cute. Sounds like a fantastic time. I'm completely jealous - your 5 year old ran a mile a minute faster than I do (wow - I'm getting my butt kicked by a 5 year old). Give them high 5's for me.
I love this!! A lot!! So freaking adorable :)
Very cute! Your girls are adorable and I loved their answers to your questions. You've made some great memories there!
OMG OMG! The picture of the 3 of you is sooooo adorable! I see there are 2 more runners in your family ;)
Oh I have to ask, what brand are those socks? Where do you get them?
I just could not WAIT for this race recap. Thank Dizz and Dood and keep up the AWESOME running, kiddos.
LOVE IT! You must be so proud! Way to go girls!
Love the outfits. Love the spirit of your girls.
Awesome. Congrats Dizzle and Doodle. Awesome jobs on their races.
You all look terrific!!! Looks like a great time!
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before my fear of children. But seriously seeing your post and the pics and reading it was all so CUTE! It seriously almost brought a tear to my eye. What a beautiful family you have and so awesome you are sharing your love of running with your girls!
So freaking adorable! I love that the 3 of you matched :)
so stinking cute! love the outfits and the kids did wonderful!
I love the outfits!!
Doodle is just like my wee girl. She feels the kid triathlons are way too short for her abilities. I love that they love to run!!
That is so great! And you guys do look stinking cute! I hate that Dizzle is going to be beating me soon!
Can't get over the matching outfits.
Oh girl I can't even tell you how happy this post makes me! I love, love, love that your girls wanted to run a race and you all looked completely adorable! You probably already realize this....but look at the role model you are for those girls. Awesome!
Love this! You are such a great mamma! Glad they enjoyed it!
