Today, in honor of Laura, we met the Elliotts at Harriet Island in St. Paul to run a race to benefit the St. Paul Public Library. We all had great runs--Karl came in a close second out of about 20 kids, Laura ran the whole half-mile without ever walking (it's amazing what you can do when you believe in the cause), and I beat my personal best in the 5k by a minute and a half! (Thanks Jason!) Plus, the kids got to dress up in costumes, so they had an edge with their extra muscles and super suits.
Spiderman and the Incredibles kids team up to run a fast race!
The kids at the starting line, sizing up the competition...
Karl coming in for his big finish, just behind the leader (you can't see any kids behind them because they were way out in front the whole time). Way to go Dash!
And here's Laura at the end of her run. Nice job Violet!
Three tired kids (but not for long; they were soon up and playing at the playground and having leaf wars).
This is how Jason and I warm up at the starting line.
While Jason and I were running, Angie and Matt took the kids over to the playground.
It won't be long until Little Justin gets in on the races too! 
What a great day for a race! Yay books!

You are a superstar! What an awesome run! I agree that this will have to be a new tradition.
