Five years or maybe six we have gone to Nashvile for the last mile of a 23.2 run that has lasted over a month. Caroline started when she was young. The Nashville Country Music Marathon has a 1.2 mile race the day before the big marathon. Providence has always used this as a time to raise money for chartiy. This year they kids raided money for a school in Africa. Below are the students who ran the 23 miles in 6th grade.
David has always ran with the students. This year he couldn't keep up with this daughter....
Before the race.
Caroline taking off. She was the 3rd grils in her age group to cross the line!
TRACK......the newest sport for the Bass family is Track. Jason and Katie Ann have both ran this season. Three weeks of bronchitis and flu did not help Jason achieve his goal but he was the cutest one there! Both ran the mile and the 4x800. Katie Ann's 4X800 team is going to state. Not bad for a a little freshman whose mother made her run:)
The hand off is critical. I am happy to report no Bass child dropped the baton all season :)
Notice the colorful baton. This 4x800 team ran fast and was the most artistic! One of the runners decided the baton needed some color.
