Tiger Run

ND took place in the Tiger Run today, a new feature of the Tenafly 5K run/dog walk etc. It was the first time they ever did a Tiger Run and the people running it looked a bit panicked as they tried to direct a few hundred 3, 4, and 5 year olds when and where to stand, run and so on. When her group was called to run the 75 yards, U had the foresight to go to the finish line. They blew the whistle and ND took off running, darting around to find her Dad. By the time she'd found him she must have suddenly realized she'd actually just done the race. The whole thing took about 5 minutes from start to finish. ND was so proud, though, to have participated and she's been looking forward to it for a few weeks since we first heard we could do it.

I would have liked to do have done the 5K walk with her in a stroller, but we had piano class at that time. Go ahead and think of the poor musician kid inside with a violin and looking out the window at the other kids playing ball.

It's all good though. After the race ND enjoyed the moon bounce, pony ride and some time in the playground.
