Pony Express Days Cupcake Run 2019

Jonny (19:26), Melody (22:23), Gabe (27:51), Evy and Daniel and Michael in the kids race

Happy Birthday to Julia! The race and parade fell on her birthday again this year, and it definitely was a full and festive day. Julia opted to stay home and enjoy her sleep on her birthday, so we all surprised her after the race by knocking on the door with a cupcake with lighted candle in hand, complete with birthday song caroling. Her 12-year-old sleepy smile was the best part of my day.

Gabe, Jonny, and I weren't scared off by a rainy race morning, but were still pleased when it cleared up before the 7:00 start time. This downhill course is always welcome and goes by quickly. Check our Gabe's improvement from the year before! He was proud to wear his black shirt with a pink cupcake on it all day. The younger kids ran well and hard, especially with the mini cupcakes as extra motivation. :)
