Zoom through the zoo


I ran a 4 mile race today in 32:26 at the Memphis Zoo. I was hoping for under 32 minutes but oh well. It was fun...well until I got to mile 3 and I was ready for a break. Oh, and finishing was fun, too. I was hoping to maybe enjoy some of the animals along the way, but they are too stinky to enjoy when you are trying to control your breathing and run in the hot Memphis weather. Jason pushed Caleb in the one mile walk. Caleb fell asleep along the way and Jason would like me to point out that it was actually 1.25 miles he had to walk. Poor thing. That must have been rough. I remember thinking around mile 3 that I would hate to have to walk more than 1.2 miles. Just kidding.

They had a large panda mascot walking around before the race. I thought Caleb would have been scared of him but he went right up to him and hugged and kissed him. Our friend, Bethany, ran in the race with us. Caleb calls her "Be Be". He loves her and he kept talking about her after she got out of the car. "Be Be Cookie". Yes, Caleb Be Be gave you a cookie.
