Next up is the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon. But, it's not the marathon that will be the highlight of the event. It will be a distance much, much shorter - 25 yards to be exact. The flying piglet's kids fun run will be Bree's first race. Being 2 1/4 years old, 25 yards is a long way but I have seen her practice and I already know she can be a runner as long as there are no pigs nor planes flying overhead. In one of her practices, her fascination with planes had her stop in the middle and notice the plane. I admire the detail because too many times, we adults don't notice the details of life as we are embedded in our daily grinds, our faces in computers or phones or we just don't stop to smell anything. Cow manure in the country can smell as good as roses. However, if we see pigs flying,then we all may stop in our tracks and point. I think of the Geico commercials with the pig in various situations. The pig thinks that it is he who creates the situation (because he is a pig) but people treat him like any other being to his disappointment. I hope that a few pigs are running and bringing attention to themselves. Not withstanding, the highlight will still be running 25 yards with Bree. The joy in her face being part of a major event, getting awarded a medal and running to her momma, pappa and grandma will just be fantastic.
