Today marks the day that the boys ran their first ever 5k. We got up early and set the navigation for Gwinette County Fairgrounds. This place is huge and the perfect spot for a preliminary 3.2 mile run for 2 six-year-olds. The whole 'race' was inside the grounds and thru the parking lot, so I didn't have to worry about one of my minions running into traffic. In fact, as soon as we started the race, Reed took off and we couldn't find him. About 15 minutes later, one of Lindara's friends called to say she found him and did she want me to hold him or let him finish running. I said if he's ok and wants to run, carry on!! And he did. I got another call about 10 minutes later from Lindara that he had finished and was with her. So funny! He really thought it was a race and had to run his fastest to get to the finish line.
(The funniest part of this is later when we were eating dinner, I asked Reed if he cheated and cut corners of the race. He proudly said "no, I just ran faster than you". Immediately after he said that, he said, "what were the cones for?" Ha!!)
Meanwhile, Nolan and I took our time jogging, sprinting, and walking but we did it and we all finished...covered in sweat, bubbles, colors, and colored powder. It was so much fun!!!
Afterwards, to celebrate, we went to Raging Burrito in downtown Decatur and Reed had a burrito the size of his head! (And his head is on the large side...) Nolan opted for the nachos and he mainly just ate the chips and kept taking the cheese off. Cheese!?! What a weirdo!
