Tom couldn’t get a picture of Cameron participating in her first race ever because he was running with her, holding both her hands!!

Yep, Cameron ran a 10-yard dash in the 1-3 age group at the Silicon Valley Marathon last weekend….She finished and she got her first medal!

Dylan ran the 200-yard dash and got his own medal and a t-shirt as well. As you can see here, his form is looking pretty good!

I would have loved to see the kids race, but there was no way I was going to be back in time. I did finally finish the marathon in about the time I expected (4:21) and was so happy to see everyone — Cameron, Dylan, Tom, my mom, Mike, and Auntie Christina — at the finish line!! Tom was super-dad, managing the kids, getting them to their races and carrying them and all of our stuff, post-race, when my feet could barely support my own weight! And, of course, the rest of the family was just awesome with letting us stay at the house, helping out with the kids, etc…!

Had just enough time to recuperate enough for 2+ hours of happy Halloween trick-or-treating later in the evening (pictures and post to come)!
