Junior Wildcat Club Half Miler

Back in April I found out about a race that they were having that went through the UK sports facilities. I really had an interest in running this race, but unfortunately I was scheduled to work that day. While doing the research I also saw that they had a junior wildcat 1/2 mile race. This seemed perfect for the kids. Unfortunately again I had to work, so I was going to miss the kids first ever race. I was a little sad about that but I knew that they would have a good time. Race day came and I didn't have that busy of an assignment so I asked someone to watch my kids and then quickly walked over to see the kids race.

I got there right as the race was about to start and apparently the kids were full of mixed emotions. Brinley was excited and Landon was terrified. He talked Jennifer into running the course with him.

The kids ran around the outside of Commonwealth Kroger Field and then finished on the field. If you look closely you can see Brinley right after she finished the race. This picture was taken on the jumbotron in the stadium.

Landon and Jennifer crossing the finish line on the jumbo tron too!

When we were looking at the stuff about the race we saw that you didn't get a medal. The kids always like to see the medals that we get for our races, so Jennifer made these Kentucky shaped medals for the kids.

Brinley with her homemade medal. I was so proud of her for running the race all by herself. She even ran the whole time which is something that she had never done before.

Proud of these two!

The kids at mid field. I can't imagine playing in front of a full house in this place. 

We even found the Wildcat for a picture with the kids.

The whole race took only about 7 or 8 minutes. I am so glad that I have co-workers who were able to help me out so that I could see the kids run their race. They were excited when I showed up to watch them run. I hope that they grow to love running and just sports in general. It took me a long time in life until I started to enjoy going for a run. Thanks for reading and God bless!
