This Memorial Day the boys ran a kid mile in the Syracuse Marathon. We have been bitten by the running bug lately and after Joe did his run the boys wanted to do one. So, hearing that Syracuse does a marathon every year (just found this out) we decided to enter them in there kids mile run. They hold it at Jensen Nature Park, just a few blocks from our house. They have ran a mile before so we thought this was a good one to do without killing them. Just for running they got a t-shirt, a medal, a rope licorice and fruit and drink. They were so excited for it and I'm glad because we were up by 6:30 am and at the park by 7:15 am to run the race by 7:30 am.
They all lined up when ready to go and Blake bolted like the wind. Well right off the bat I knew he would die out from doing that and sure enough he did. But, he did still do there regular time of 10 minutes so I'm glad they didn't do worse than what they have done at home. Blake did come in 1st out of his brothers. Then Patrick and then Jacob. It was quick but also exciting and they are looking forward to the next one...
Great job boys!!
Waiting to run the race..
