Focused and Determined!


"Dad will you run with me?"


Chelsea loves to run!
She loves to race!
She wants to WIN!


This race was so fun...it was at a farm...and everything was FARM FUN!


The course was lined with pumpkins!


Mile two was literally in the CORN MAZE!
"GET LOST"...reads the sign!


I was so thrilled to see her make it through the maze!


I wasn't able to see all of the obstacles...but from what I hear...there was LOTS of them!
Rivers...fences...mud....


These obstacles are HUGE for a little 8 year old girl...but she never stopped!


Even when her ankle rolled!


Even the fans had FARM FUN!
Her cheerleaders loved standing high on the hay...to cheer her in!



She ran her heart out!
All she wanted was to WIN!
She wanted that medal!


Covered in dirt and scratches!


She patiently waited for AWARDS!
There was NO rewards!
I thought my little girls was going to die..she ran her hardest EVER!
She was the first for her age group and only one other woman beat her.
I was so proud!

This is a must do race for all you Iowa people...and all the proceeds go to cancer!

I bought Chelsea a special 1st place medal....engraved with her name! =)
