Bloomsday Run - Family Fun


On May 4th we joined the Couser family, daughter Erin and friends, on a run through the streets of Spokane, WA. The run is called Bloomsday. Monique and I had run it years ago and were challenged to run it again by our friends the Cousers. It was fantastic reunion of families.

The goal of running Bloomsday, 7.4 miles kept Monique and I motivated to run through the winter. Ellie and Carly caught the vision for the run in April and did a little jogging to in preparation for the big day. We were so proud of them for hanging in there and finishing.

There were about 45,000 folks who took to the streets on a beautiful sunny spring day in Spokane. Erin was the family winner, finishing in 1 hour - 15 minutes. I managed to push through the 6th mile wall and finish 3 minutes behind her. Way to go Erin!

Here are the Woodward gals, Monique, Erin, Carly and Ellie with friends Allison and Craig.
