Emma really wanted to beat Angel in the Turkey Trot. We had no doubt that she would be the fastest girl in her grade, but we knew Angel would give her a run for her money! He is very fast. In second grade he beat her by one second. He finished at 8:19 and Emma finished at 8:20! It was a great race. Emma had played in a VERY physical tournament two days before the race so I wasn't sure she would be able to run, but she was determined. She was nervous before the race, but told us her goal was to run the whole mile without stopping. She did just that and finished at 7:07- Angel finished one second ahead of her at 7:06!!! She almost had him. He took the inner lane on the curve and she didn't have enough time to pull ahead. Poor Angel threw up right after they finished (Emma did not!) so I don't think he had much left in his tank. I can't believe how fast they are at 8 years old!!! SO proud of my fast and athletic girl!

She let him take off in front of her and she paced right behind
him the entire race until the last 200 meters when she turned it up. |
