LA Holiday 1 Mile Kids Race

Today was the 1 mile Penguin Waddle Kids Race at the Holiday Half Marathon.  We went to the Expo first to pick up the kids bibs and my race packet for tomorrow. No line, nice people working there, all A+.  Expo was pretty small.  A few booths outside, just a couple of vendors so we did not spend a lot of time there.  We watched the end of the 5K race and waited for the kids race to start.  It was a lot warmer than I thought I was going to be...made me change my mind about what I will wear tomorrow.

This is the kids before we left the house this morning!

 We took a couple of fun pics at the Race Expo

This is me waiting at the start of the kids race, Bill took it from pretty far when he was waiting with the kids for their wave to move up.

 All the pictures from the start are terrible.  Bill tried to get some  but people kept passing in front of him so we don't see the kids in any of them. Booooo
This was a one mile race, the first one for Jonathan.  I was a little worried and I had asked Will to stay with his little brother.  I think he stayed with him for 0.25 mile.  Here is Will coming to the finish.  He did 9:04.  He is the one in red with his arms up.

Jonathan was only about 12 seconds behind Will! He had a good finish!

There's something we don't usually see: a smile from the Angry Runner..!!!!!!!!!!

 Just like in Long Beach, this kids race was super organized.  The kids loved it.  The medals are really cute.  We will be back for this one for sure!

Will even won a $20 gift certificate for Dicks Sporting Goods!
