First Lap (5k) Done, one more to go |
BUT HERE IS WHERE I WAS UBER PROUD TODAY......
So my 3 year old son, Lucas, has been wanting to run with me. He tries to run when I go out in the morning to run, but he can't keep pace with me nor can he run for as long. So I've been letting him start and finish my runs with me and I push him in the jogging stroller the rest of it. Well today was his first run. When we got to Lagoon Valley Park, he was so excited. In fact the night before his run he told me, "mom I can't sleep I'm too excited". So at the lagoon he got to watch me run and I believe he was excited to see me run and possibly even proud of me. Then, about 30 minutes after I was done, they did the kids run. Lucas got to run a 1/2 mile. I ran along side him chanting the entire time "great job", "you can do it", "I'm so proud of you", and I'm sure other positive things too. The kid had a blast. At one point I pointed out that there was another little guy running next to us and he was going fast, that made Lucas run even faster. I think he's gonna be competitive, as he finished he looked at me and said, "that boy didn't win". Lucas defiantly earned his medal today, and I couldn't have been prouder.
Right before bed tonight Lucas said to me, "Mommy I had fun today". In which I replied, "What was your favorite part"?
"My run"!!
That little guy is my new running partner |
Youngest runner there |
Determined to WIN |
