Race Day



Owen and Rhyle ran in their first official races today. Owen was fourth of fifty 4-5 year old boys, running 1/4 mile. Rhyle was fourth of fifty 1-3 year old boys, running 1/8 mile. They did a great job! Daddy, Livia, Tate, and I enthusiastically cheered them on. Livia then explained that next year she will be three (and then FOUR!)and SHE will run FASTER and wear a SHIRT. You better believe it.

Yay! It would've been so fun to watch them run.

That sounds so fun for your boys. How did you find a race for them to run in? I think that doing something like that would be fun for our family.

The Lynchburg 10-Miler had a kid's run. We went to watch some friends and found out that there was a race the following weekend, too. The boys really enjoyed it. I think next year I will try a run or two, too. (Especially if my sister moves here and runs with me!)

thanks Calli,
My husband runs and wanted to do a marathon but all the races around here seem to be on Sundays.
I can't wait to start exercising again. I wasn't able to do a whole lot with this last preg. I think running a 5k would be a good goal for me and would keep me motivated because I am very competitive.
My only problem is working in exercise with four littles.
