The Big Race

This past weekend Brett and Joshua ran a 5K (3.1 mile) race.
Joshua has been practicing his runs so was ready for the big race day.

We had so much fun watching him complete the entire thing! Daddy even had to get him to pace himself because his first mile was in 9 minutes!!!

His finishing time was 35:06!!! He placed third in the age group 14 and under! Great job Joshua you really worked hard.



Brett, Joshua and Matthew before the race. All Smiles just after finishing!

Having some good post-race snacks!

The 6 year old and his medal!

Here is a clip as they finish the race...sorry I am a bit loud...I was REALLY proud of him and Matthew was a great cheerer!!!
