On Saturday, Marissa and Anna ran in the 30th Annual Crim Festival of Races in Flint. Anna ran in the one mile event, placing 368th in a field of 512 with her time of 12:01. Our friend Myrrh, who had already run in the 10 mile race, ran with her. Marissa ran in the quarter-mile "Teddy Bear Trot". We're quite proud of both of them!

Anna decided after watching our church friends running in the Frankenmuth Volksläufe that she wanted to do it, and that's when we first started talking about the Crim. Once Anna was committed, Marissa decided to go for it, too, and they both trained during the next two months to get ready. The training paid off, as both of our girls sailed through their events.
