run for a child... and to meet a duggar

Jamie and I got up early this foggy morning to Run for a Child. We registered a few weeks ago for this 5K and we're excited to support our friend Emily in her first 5k race! It was pretty foggy but there were tons of people there.
Here is Emily waiting in line to pick up her shoe tag (this race was so fancy smancy that we got the cool computer chips tags to attach to our shoes).
Emily and I were pretty pumped about getting our run on!
Jamie was not.
But I was glad to have my hubby there to help cheer us on.
Plus his friend, Trent, was running, too and Jamie wanted to show off his sweet racing skills.
I actually snapped a picture in mid-race here and told Em to give me her best "game face"... I wouldn't get in this girl's way! :)
So we made it all 3.1 miles and crossed the finish line to the cheers of the crowd... and Michelle Duggar!
The Duggar's were there filming for their show on TLC and when I crossed the finish line Michelle Duggar patted me on the back and said "good job!". So I told Jamie I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant now! ha!! (For those of you who don't know Michelle Duggar is pregnant with her 19th baby, so the fact that she touched me surely boosted my fertility!)
Anyways, it was a really fun race and I was proud of all of us for getting up early this morning to run a few miles for a great cause!
