The Fourth, a Five-K, and Family






















Although it was cloudy and there were sprinkles of rain, today's 5K went off without a hitch - and technically without me, although I was there to support, cheer, and photograph. It was the first time ever for me to watch my family finish a race without my being in it. But I still enjoyed it. I loved watching the end of the street, waiting for my family to turn the corner. I loved attempting to take pictures (I wish I had a viewfinder). I loved watching the other runners come in. I loved hearing their stories about their experiences on the course. I loved the post-race family brunch. But most of all, I loved being a part of it. Or maybe it's just that I love being a part of them.
