I signed up to run the St John's Sunset 5k run and Katelynn was going to do the 1 mile kids run. I don't remember why now, but I didn't run the 5k. I ended up just running the 1 mile fun run with Katelynn. While the 5k event was going on the kids played at the playground.
It was an evening run, but it was still hot. Katelynn was so excited! She loves running. Chris got some good photos of us. Maybe not this first one...
But here we are heading off and crossing the bridge. Katelynn did very well on the run. She got a little tired and kept wanting to stop for walk breaks. At the turn around point they had a bunch of Marines cheering on everyone. They gave Katelynn a bunch of high 5's - she yelled that she was ready now because she had high 5 energy! She ran the entire way to the finish.
Chris got some good shots of us heading into the finish...
She's still smiling!
Almost done!!
Every time I do a run Katelynn asks if she can do the kid run. I've discovered that most of the runs in this area do not have kid fun runs. It's sad because she really enjoys them. I sign her up for one every time I find one. Even Denver has started saying he wants to run with Mommy. At the young age of 3, he usually only lasts about 1/4 of a mile, but lately he's been running 2 even 3 laps around the track with me...normally barefoot. I love that my kids love running! I hope when they get bigger that they'll still want to run and that I'm still able to run. I love my little family!!!
