This is Nadia… I ran in the North Star Bike race tonight. Yes, I said I ran. I didn’t want to do it at all. But Daddy kept tricking me (lets go get a number, lets go see your friends, why don’t you put your helmet on for a picture, did you know you’d win a medal) and I finally did get excited about riding with my friends and winning a medal.

Sadly, the race organizers were a little disorganized and made us wait around forever… and they almost created a disaster by not telling the 6 year olds which way to turn and they turned into oncoming bikes…

Finally just before they let us go I had enough of sitting around on my bike and refused to ride. Daddy did say that if I ran it they would still give me a medal. So I ran/walked the course. Lots of people cheered me on! I’m really proud to say that I wasn’t last! And that I won and got a medal! 

Maybe next year…

Enjoy some pictures
