Road Race for CJ

This race was in January. I went earlier and ran the 5K and then Daddy and Aunt Penny came up later with CJ so he could run in the kid's race. It was a half mile.
He was all excited to get his number on and be official. We did some stretching.
I hate to admit that he is more flexible than me. I'm really glad he is able to touch his toes, a fete I have never accomplished.
He finished the race in just under 6 minutes and he has the medal to prove it.
Penny was upset that she did not get us racing to the finish line...so we pretended for her.

It was such a fun day! The year before he was very winded. This year he ran nearly a 1/4 mile non-stop. When we turned around he walked for about 30 seconds then decided to run again. When we were nearly to the finish line, there was a little boy (about 3 years old) that was crying for his Daddy. His parents were no where in sight. So I picked him up and ran with him. This slowed me down, so I told CJ to go on by himself. And sure enough...He Did!! Once he saw Daddy and Penny at the finish line he just kept going. I love that he enjoys doing stuff like this.
