To say "I pushed (pulled) her the whole way" is an understatement, as she cried most of the 3.1 miles.
I prayed most of the 3.1 miles.
I wanted her to finish, but was torn between if I should 1) pick her up and carry her - or 2) leave her behind and run with the other girls - or 3) have her quit and call Dan to come and pick her up.
We both toughed it out, and I am so proud of her!! You can tell by the pictures, she did NOT want to be there! - But, we made it!
Thank Goodness for Daddy's! - The only reason she wanted to finish, was so she could see her daddy at the end!!!
