Sandhills 10K

At one of our trips to the sand hills in Monahans this summer, Matt commented that it would be a fun site for a run. So when we received a brochure for the Inaurural Sandhills 5K/10K not long after that, he couldn't resist. Only the sheer enormity of my belly restrained me from competing this time. We got up early this morning for the drive. It was sunny and calm with temperatures in the thrities- perfect racing weather. Matt chose to compete in the 10K race, and enjoyed a challenging, scenic course through the sand dunes. He placed 2nd in his age group. The kids were excited to cheer him on; Emma even broke free and attempted to run to Daddy as he neared the finish.
