A Day at the Races

Today we took Mia out to the Santa Anita Race Track for the Santa Anita Derby and 5k. Heather, Jeff, and I ran the 5k race, which ran through the beautiful LA County Arboretum and then finished around the race track at Santa Anita. After the 5k, we met up w/ Melissa, my mom, and my grandma and explored the infield before heading to the stands to watch the first six horse races. The highlight of the day for me was that we held the program open in front of Mia, and when we asked her to pick the Derby winner, she pointed to a horse named Tiago (a long-shot at 20-1 odds) and he won in an upset. Unfortunately, her parents didn't put any money on her horse...
