Fastest Beauty in San Ramon!

Today is a great day! My little cutie was a bit nervous about her first race in about two years. It was a little overcast and slightly cold. When she completed registration, I think the butterflies kicked into full gear. We walked over to the starting area and waited for the San Ramon 4^th of July Fun Run to begin. Allie had committed to the 10k race and didn’t know how interested she was in running hard. I was told that she would probably just run normal. Well, to my surprise, at the 5k mark Allie was in 5^th place overall, and the 1^st placed woman in the race. The announcer must have heard her fans cheering so loud, that he announced this over the PA system and called her out by name and her time as she passed us. My pathetic husband heart couldn’t take the shock of Allie’s competitive nature kicking into gear and putting her into such a position in the race. I knew she wouldn’t give up her position to any other female racer, so I got even more excited. When she made the final turn onto the straight away, I knew she had victory. I believe that she finished the race in the 6^th spot overall and 1^st with respect to the women. She is my little 39 minute bullet! I love this girl to pieces and couldn’t be more proud. HAPPY 4^th of July. Now I get to take her and celebrate her win with some fireworks! This is such a great day….super great day!
