Rabbit Run

  I love the Rabbit Run for a number of reasons:  1.  My family will usually run it because they want to {not because I make them, like the Turkey Day 5k} 2. Many of my XC kids run it ~ and many of my former XC kids run it ~ and I really like seeing them all out enjoying running.  3.  It's a Madison run & I know a lot of people running...which just makes it fun because you can cheer for everyone by name. 4.  It's the only race I've ever placed overall in...that first year, came in second behind Kelly Chandler... and I've always placed first in my age group {yes, I am that vain}

These are the majority of the current & former MMS XC runners who raced today.  Runners are the best kids!  I am so fortunate to coach the best sport in the world.  The tallest one on the right ran in the Regional XC meet yesterday and came in THIRD overall today.  That's a kid who's had great coaching {hee}

Here is my son (sorry it's blurry) getting his SECOND PLACE award ~ 22:45 was his time {he passed me pretty early & I could see him the whole race...but there was no catching him today}  

And the post race usie ~ With Jacob & I wearing our bling.  I finished at 23:18 and Mike finished at 25:15.  A great 5k day.  And the warmest Rabbit Run to date.
