My first 5K and Zack's first 100 yard dash

Emily and I before the race started, we still look good












































The home stretch! I finished in 28 minutes and 20 seconds!



Zack waiting patiently for his race to start. He was the youngest runner for this one. It was so fun to watch him! He came in dead last but he ran as fast as his little legs would carry him. He was so determined to finish. He looks so small compared to the other kids.



Ready, Set, GO!! The horn they blew kind of startled him so he was off to a slow start. But in the end they all got medals and we got him a shirt. So he was excited. He had fun, and it was so much fun to watch him do this. Everyone who was watching was cheering him on because he was the last one to finish (he was like 15 seconds behind the rest of the kids). sorry the picture sucks, but that is him running. I wish I would have recorded it.
Thank heaven for the medals, if they wouldn't have stopped him i'm afraid he would have kept running.

Zack showing his medal off to the by standers who were cheering him on. A fun picture to end our adventurous day. Don't mind my red face, I always get so red, and it doesn't go away very fast.
