Anyway, on Thursday, I was just scrolling through the assignments making sure we hadn't missed anything when up popped an extra credit option for her fitness class. If she ran in a real race, she could receive bonus points. A real race! I know when we were prepping for the Cookie Chaser, the girls had to sign up early and now that this would be the final weekend to count, I was more than a bit stressed that we wouldn't be able to find a 5K here in Utah that she could still register for with the race day being on July 29th.
It was a tall order, but after about half and hour of dead ends, I finally stumbled across one that looked like it might work. It one place it said final registration was June 16, but it still looked like registration was open, so I tried it.
Within a couple of minutes, I had Crafty registered to do the Potter Run in West Jordan, and since she didn't want to do it herself, I also registered Baby Doll.
We showed up on Saturday morning bright and early. There were reportedly 700 runners, but I think some of them were not actually in West Jordan. The girls did a walk/run and they were pretty excited when they crossed the finish line.
They each received these fancy medallions and a banana (I don't know... potassium maybe?) Scout bought herself a cute pair of time turner earrings at one of the booths and it was fun to see all of the people dressed in their Harry Potter attire.
Not a bad experience for our first race (other than the $25 entrance fee) and she got extra credit besides.

Amazing how you look for things to further support your children. Way to go Crafty and BabyDoll. That looked like a great race to be in with costumes and all. Blessings and hugs~
