Our two little runners


Samuel's preschool had a mini-race last week. Samuel was totally pumped since Chris had been training for his half-marathon and in preparation we had even gone out and bought some new running shoes (he needed new shoes anyways). He was so proud of himself as he dressed in his running clothes and shoes and ran his little heart out with his other 4 year old friends. It was really cool to see him get so into it and feel so proud of himself after coming across the finish line! (The race was a whole 200 meters).

Then last Saturday it was daddy's turn. Chris had been training quite a bit for this half-marathon, but a week before got a cold. His entire body felt week as he started the race and half way through he ended up throwing up. Needless to say, he finished with a time of 1:29 which is still incredibly fast! However, he was very disappointed. Samuel was pretty proud of him though :) And there's always next year. (which I plan on running as well!)

Poor Chris! I guess the onion sandwiches didn't do much good, huh? :) Samuel looks so proud in the first picture - how cute!

Too bad about being sick... but that is still a super time! Jake and I are doing a half marathon in June... Chris should come and run with us ;) or I mean kick our butts.
