Family 5K

The boys have been so pumped this spring with the races Cory & I have done. There are a few they came with & a few we did solo – they are so sweet & always ask us after every race if we “won”…too cute. They always talk about wanting to run in a race too so I stumbled upon a fun 5K, that was not timed, at a local resort on a weekend where we had nothing planned & signed us up.

They were so excited that I expected them to walk/run most of the 5K by themselves (they did this at the March of Dimes 5K back in May), but they just weren’t in the mood that morning. Of course, they don’t know how to pace themselves, so they’d be running next to the stroller, all-out for a few minutes and then be wiped out & want a ride. They seemed tired out (we had a late bedtime the night before) and ended up riding in the stroller for most of it.

We had fun regardless. Wyatt did get out of the stroller & run with daddy for the last part of the race and I tried the same thing with Colton but that ended in major meltdown instead of the fun finish line I had imagined. Oh well…we got out of the house on a beautiful day, got exercise & spent the morning together…that’s still a win in my book.

at this time, still melting down...
shortly after we finished our snacks
he recovered enough to come out and
play on the playground a bit before we left.)
