On 9/26 Tyaan ran a 5k for Megan's Wings. It is a foundation started by her cross country coach after his young daughter (Megan) died of cancer several years ago. This is the 4th annual run and all of the proceeds help pay expenses for families of young cancer patients. They had over 800 people register for the 5k run/walk and the 1k fun run. This is the second time Tyaan has run this event. She ran it 2 years ago as well.
It was a nice day. Perfect in the shade, but quite warm in the sun. They had over 600 people in the 5k and it took a little over an hour to get the last walkers in. For those of you who know the area the event is held at McCarthy park in Upland on 20th and San Antonio. The course is north on San Antonio to 24th, east on 24th to Euclid, down Euclid to 20th and back to the park.
Jon's dad, Don, came to watch her run. He's the best spectator because he cheers louder than I do. Gives lots of good encouragement.
Tyaan finished th 5k in 24:22 which is really good. She finished about 60th overall, 12th girl, and got 1st place for girls in her age group (16-19). She did really well and it was a fun way to spend the morning. We got home, ate lunch, and both slept for most of the afternoon.
She made me proud, as usual!
