Running the Pumpkin Run

Hi everybody yesterday I ran the Pumpkin Run. The Pumpkin Run is called the Pumpkin Run because we ran in a massive graveyard and there were lots of pumpkins. The pumpkins were the only way to know the race course. I followed the pumpkins that were the out line of the race track. There were 607 people in the 5k race I came twelve out of all of the people and I got a 14 second pr because last time I ran it in 21:53. This time I ran the race in 21:39. Then I found out something and that was that I came 3rd for my age group. This was OK, but I thought that I did better. We were there for the 5k prizegiving. Because I came third we were waiting for the 11-13 age group. I heard that someone came third and I thought this weird. So then there were only two more plaques left. Then I thought I came second but then some other persons name was called out. I was about to leave to go to the car and then I heard my name and I turned around. Then he said I came first so I was like yay I came first wippie. Then we went to watch Dad finish and he ran the 10 miles!! There were 425 people who were in that race and Dad came fourth out of all the people. If he had gotten one place higher he would of got 100 dollars. Then after the race you can pick up as many pumpkins so you wanted so we got three. This is going on to my next story wich will but right up next in my blog.
