Blogger Dash Recap!!

7543Thank you to all of you who came out to run Blogger Dash on Saturday in support of the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital!! It was a chilly start, but a gorgeous morning for a run!! We had a blast and hope you did too!! We loved seeing all the runners and walkers, especially those who brought their kiddos out to join them in the stroller! And we have to say, the kids race was definitely a highlight of the event!!

They offered a great cool-down session for the adults and another awesome session for the kids! It was definitely one of our kiddos’ favorite parts of the day!
