Erik decided about 2 weeks ago that he wanted to run a 5k in a fundraiser race for the red cross. He had never ran a 5k before, and just started "training"/ running a little bit ago on a regular basis again. So our expectations were low! He just had the attitude of having fun and "not coming in last!" haha. Well my baby did awesome!!! His time was 20:13 and he came in 11th overall and 6th in his age group. GOOD JOB BABY!!! I was so proud of him. It was so much fun going and cheering him on and watching him run. He was a little disappointed in his time, and he even said he didn't really feel tired, like he paced himself to much and should have gave it more. So wow...who knows what he can really do next time!?! It was a fun morning and he has now signed up for a few more races this spring. I cant wait!
