Last year I pushed Chloe in her wheelchair and paced Elliot. He did great! We walked for a few stretches, but ended up finishing strong in 41:20, a 13:18 pace. And Chloe had a ball. When I run while pushing her in her chair, she roars with delight!

The Amazing RiverRUN 2009
Since I'm not doing much running these days, I thought I'd reminisce a bit about a run last year. The boys' school hosts an annual 5K, The Amazing RiverRUN. The boys run with the running club after school a day or two a week. They try to see how many laps around the campus they can run in 30 minutes. Then they have the 5K, competing against their classmates..

Elliot said he wants to run by himself this year, and wants me to see if I can win my age division. If you live in the Fort Worth area, and want to run in a small, casual, family-oriented race, be there May 7! You can register here.

Seeing the picture of you pusing Chloe reminds me of Team Hoyt. I bet you are familiar with your story. It is very inspiring. If you don't know much about them you can see it at http://www.teamhoyt.com/.
