3rd place – Science Fair

Liz won 3rd place in the science fair at Hillcrest. It was a pretty cool project that Marcia and I also got into. She measured how much weight different glues could hold. The winner, Gorilla Glue, held 368 lbs!

100%

Noah and Eden each received 100% scores on tests this week.

All around, it was an academic week in the Kennedy household.

Liz and I ran our first 10K together. This was a week after she garnered 3rd overall female finisher in the LOGjam 5K at Centennial Park. She ran that one alone, but this race was twice the distance, and 3500 people! So I decided to run it with her.

Liz and I started the race together and ran the whole thing together. At the starting line, she got all the way up to the front with the professional runners. It was a good day to run, just a few days removed from the Boston Marathon where there was a bombing. Liz said she wanted to run for the victims in Boston, especially an 8 year old that was killed.

We run for Boston

Liz ran hard the whole race. The other runners made lots of positive comments to Liz on the course, about her shirt and how awesome of a runner she was. Coming to the finish line, Liz picked up her pace and finished strong. She finished first place in her age group with a time of 51:38. Congratulations, Liz.
