Cougar 5K!

Part of our weekend festivities included a family 5K.  Maybe it was the fact that I had a ball to attend the night before, I know -- Classy, or maybe it was that I only ran about 3 times before this race did not train as vigorously as I should have, but when race day came we decided to just enjoy the fall air as we strolled through the course.  Lucky for us, it was a run/walk.  We did put the jogging shoes to good use for a little while, because W wanted to run.

The highlight for me, however, was when Little Man wanted to run across the finish line.  He ran the last .10 of a mile and everyone cheered for him when he crossed the finish line.  It was a really neat experience for both of us.  I know he is ready for his next race... I cannot quite say the same.  I think I would need to actually run on, at least, a semi-consistent basis.
