Wet morning at the zoo

Sunday morning looked like it was starting nice enough as we got up and got ready for the Zoo Run Run 10K. We were looking forward to this race because since it was at the zoo, Allie and Dada would have things to do while I was running.

Allie wore her new kitty jammies the night before and was still really excited about them... but that didn't stop her from making a mess at breakfast!

But right as we were leaving it started to rain. And it kept raining. I had known about the chance of rain that day but thought it would be later. We drove to the race anyway because I race rain or shine... but we didn't know what Allie and Dada would do.

As it turned out, the rain let up soon after the race started. And Allie and Dada had the zoo practically to themselves!

So Dada let Allie run around a lot.

That is, until she decided she didn't want to listen to Dada anymore. Then it was time to go back in the stroller. But by that time it was time to see Mama run to the finish!

Seeing Allie and Dada so close to the finish made me go that much faster! And it was so fun seeing Allie's reaction as I ran by. In spite of the rain and a lingering chest cold, Mama finished in 1:06:30, an almost-PR! The full race report can be found over in My Marathon Journey.

Then it was home for Allie to take a much-needed nap (she almost fell asleep in the car! She never does that!) and for Mama and Dada to spend a rainy afternoon watching football.
