An 8K in Amsterdam...

 Bright and early one Sunday in October, we journeyed to Amsterdam so Ashlynn could run her first 8K as part of the Amsterdam Marathon. Jimmy didn’t want her to run that distance alone, so he registered to run with her.

While David made sure that he started near the front of the race, Jimmy intentionally held Ashlynn back so that she wouldn’t be stuck walking in a big pack, but could run freely at the start. Ashlynn hadn’t done much training, so I was worried that she might not be able to run that long distance. I needn’t have worried as she kicked butt!
