Flash Found ~ no longer MIA

Flash is Found 

I was no longer sick so I was ready to run.  My mom found a run that was around Halloween so I could wear my Flash Costume.  She did not want to run this one so I ran this race all by myself.  This run was called Fight For Air.  It helped the American lung Association.  

I wanted to dress as a Flash because I feel as fast as a Flash when I run.  The costume has red and yellow arm bands.  It has a hat with lighting bolts and my shirt had a big lighting bolt on my chest.  This was a homemade costume.  

I grabbed it off the shelf and put it on.  This Flash was ready for a race.  I ate breakfast and went off on my adventure.  I ran this race by myself, although my mom waited for me at half way and my Dad was waiting at the finish line.  

                             

 

It was a rainy day.  I had never ran in the rain before so this was a first.  I got to the starting line and 1,2,3 BANG! I was off.  When I got to the half way point I ate an energy jelly bean.  It gave me the energy that I needed and I felt as fast as Flash.   The rain was actually a good thing because it cooled me down when I got hot.  

My time for this 5k was 26:50.  I came in first in my age group, but the website says I came in second.  This was because a little boy didn't finish the race and when he turned around to go back his chip clocked him walking across the finish line.  I also won first place for my fast costume.  

 

This was my second race when I got first place.  I love racing and I love the bling.
