Fun Run

Several weeks back we decided we'd let Sam participate in a 1-mile fun run. We talked it up and he and Ron practiced running in the neighborhood. Even though he'd been sick earlier in the week, he really wanted to run. So yesterday we headed out to the old airport for the race. The turnout was amazing. Sam's age group ran at 4pm and it consisted of pre-K and Kindergarden boys.

Here's Ron (in the blue scrubs) running with Sam at the starting line.

And just a few minutes later, Sam dropped out of the race. He didn't feel good. He's saying "Don't" in this picture...as in "Don't take a picture of me, Mom". As Becky would say: Mom:1, Sam:0. I'll always win out when it comes to picture-taking.
Hopefully next time we go Sam will be healthy leading up to the race. No excuses. He'll be able to finish and be happy with what he accomplished.
