Williams - Starlight Run







Herb, Sage, Grandma Williams, & Aunt Ashley ran in a 5k race called the Starlight Run in downtown Portland a couple weeks ago. It is my favorite race to watch. It happens every year and the runners run the course of the Starlight Parade which happens right after the run. It is fun to watch because the runners have the option of dressing in costume or not. Then if you would like to enter the costume contest you can. Herb and Sage dressed as Animal and Janice from the Muppets. Keren dressed as Minnie Mouse. Herb entered the contest and one second place. He won a trip for two to Victoria Island BC and $50. I love to watch and cheer all the runners on. There are always some hilarious costumes. Sage did awesome, she ran over half the race and when she saw me on the sidelines, she decided to stop because she was tired. I am so proud of her. This was her first time running in a race.

One week later, Herb was signed up to run in the Helvetia Half Marathon but ended up cancelling two hours before the run because he ended up working from 9am to 5am the day of the race and had no energy to run. I was so bummed because I love watching this run.
