Child and Family support center 5k race

Bryan writes a list of goals each year and one of his this year was to get the older boys to run a 5K with him.  I thought he was crazy and to find a little mile race for them to do.  After a few practice runs we signed them up for this race.  We have done a few things to support the Family and Child Support center (even do a video with the kids, Bryan and I for them) and we wanted to help.  The race happened to land on Brett's birthday but we did it anyway.  I got there just after the race started with the little boys and we hung out until the crossed the finish line.  Big Blue the mascot for USU was there and Brett LOVED him.  He ran right up to him and said "it's my birthday!" gave him a huge hug and giggled the entire time . 

 After the one mile race came though we wait a bit and the first 5K racer came.  He did it in 20 minutes.  Then a couple more older guys (early to late 20ies looking guys) went though.  Then I saw my little 9 and 7 year old with my husband in toe coming up.  Tyson was 4th and Blake 5th place overall! They even beat the overall girl for the 5K.  And they did it in just over 24 minutes.  I was so proud of them.

 Seriously who knew they were such great runners! Bryan was dripping with sweat and was tired too and he runs about 20 miles a week at least.    

I want my boys to know they can do hard things.  Not only did they do a hard thing (honestly I couldn't have ran this race even when I'm not pregnant) but they can rock at them too.
