The Boy ran his first race on Memorial Day weekend.
50 meters against a tough field of 2, 3, and 4 yr. olds.
At the start with the other competitors.
It was a really cold morning!
The Boy really can run pretty fast, but this day was not his day.
He came in last, well, 2nd to last we think. But at least he got a new shirt!
At the finish with his Otter Pop.
Practicing with daddy.
The day went a little better for daddy. He told me he would be under 18 min for sure. So, when the clock said 16 min I hurried to go get The Boy off the playground and get ready to see daddy come in. Meanwhile, Brett came in.....first! I missed him coming across the finish line, but here is an awesome shot of him walking through the shoot! I think his time was 16:25. He beat the high school boys and won a free pair of shoes!
Maybe there is some hope for The Boy!
Here is some video of The Boy's race. There is a lot of time at the "start", because we weren't sure when they were going to go. Sorry.
*I started this post 3 weeks ago and am just finally getting it up!
Apparently, lying face down in the chair and balancing your toes on the ottoman is more comfy.
I did move him to his bed, but he woke up and refused to go back to sleep.
