Here we come Boston Marathon!!

This weekend was the Defender Classic 5K Race at Bryan Station High School. It is a great fundraiser for Shaun's band. Shaun, Harrison and Samuel participate every year. They get really excited about it every year. Last night after swimming lessons, Samuel came in and told me that they were eating carbs to prepare for the race today. Both boys are in the 9 and under age category. Typically Harrison comes in first place (every year except one when he was maybe 4 or 5 and a 9 year old beat him). Samuel is typically 2nd or 3rd place depending on how many kids are entered in that age range. This year was no different. Harrison was 1st place with a time of 27 minutes and Samuel was 2nd place with a time of 37 minutes. Check out some pictures of my little runners.


Here is Harrison at the start of the race. Look at that smile!

Harrison, Shaun and Samuel right after they all finished. The look proud AND tired!

You have such cute kids...and with teacher parents, they will be so smart and talented too! :) I guess I'm too old to run any kind of race! I am in awe of anyone who does!
