Family 5K

Scott, Matthew, Anna, Grant my mom and I ran/walked a 5K on a Saturday.  My dad watched John and Emma for us.  Here we are at the starting line before the race.  I was hesitant to bring Grant 'cause I didn't want to have to carry him after a half mile.  But he ended up doing the best of all the kids. 

The race was at the kid's school so they saw a lot of their friends there.

The race was great!  Scott, Matthew and Grant took off together, running a little faster than me.  Anna and I (and her friend on a scooter) were together for a while.  

Anna and her friend fell a little behind and then took a short cut, cutting off 1/2 mile of the race.  She was very excited that she beat the rest of us.  :)

Matthew ran and walked and kept up (mostly) with Scott and Grant.  Grant ran 2 1/2 miles without stopping!!  Scott kept telling Grant he could take a break but Grant said he wanted to be "a winner" and kept running.  The last half mile Grant ran and walked.  But he was wasted and a little dehydrated when finished.  He had to lay on the couch and rehydrate for a while after.  So no more 5Ks for him until he's bigger.  But he did great!

The boys finished before me...barely.  :)  I was happy 'cause I ran almost the whole way and haven't run that far since before Emma was born.  So hooray!
