I think that we found a new Thanksgiving tradition... run away the calories before pigging out! This race was so much fun and just right around the corner from home. I definitely think that the 10k is my favorite run. 6.2 miles is perfect length and I was even able to push myself to beat my Personal Record! It was also fun to see all of the turkey and pilgrim costumes and see all of the families running together. The best part for me was watching my boys race and really enjoy it. I am so happy to see them to be motivated and excited to exercise. Next year we decided that Daddy, Jacksen and Grammy Karen will run/walk in the 5K together! ; )
Here is a great little video of the boys crossing the finish line. Jack came across about 8th place, but I feel that if he would have started in the front of the pack he could have been top 3. This boy is FAST! Justus was hilarious.. first off the way he swings his arms when he runs is too cute, second he looses a shoe right at the finish line! All of the parents were shouting for him to leave the shoe behind, but he was determined to put it back on and cross. It was too cute for words.
My favorite part about any run is crossing the finish line and seeing the smiling and proud faces of my loving family!
The boys getting ready to start their 1k through Yorba Regional Park!
They were so proud of their medals...
