Capitol 10K

[Russell Posting] Today was Bryce's first race...the Statesman's Capitol 10k. This year happened to be the 30th annual one...so it was particularly crazy. About 18K people lined the streets of downtown to suffer through 6.2 miles of heat and humdity. The rain threatened, but managed to hold off. Normally that would be a good thing, but the weather was so gross the rain would probably have felt good. I pushed Bryce in the jogger and Paige ran with our friend Michelle (the blond below who isn't Paige). Other than the pictures to commemorate the event, the race itself was forgettable. Bryce was obviously unimpressed with my efforts to zip through traffic so he decided to take a nap. I wished he would have chatted or cried or something b/c when he was talking...it sort of acted like a horn and people got out of our way. Once he snoozed...it was back to bobbing and weaving. Paige and Michelle did great! They were both a little zapped at the end, but hung in there. Everyone was rewarded with sandwiches from Schlotzky's for lunch. Here are a few before shots...perhaps if the official race photos turn out, we'll get some action shots.
