Mile and 5K Run

This morning, Blake and Bryson ran the mile run in Springfield. Uncle Carey ran the 5K. Blake got the form in his bookbag several weeks ago and was so excited!!! Last night and this morning at 7:00, his (and his daddy's) attitude was totally different. Neither of them wanted to go and were fussing about getting up so early on a Saturday morning!! It was cold but the weather was beautiful! Blake got at the front of the lineup and was ready to go.

Bryson got at the back if the lineup and quickly decided that she was not going to run by herself. Since she has Uncle Carey COMPLETELY wrapped, she quickly convinced him to run with her!!!

7 minutes and 50 seconds later, Blake come running in! He did GREAT!!

About 10 minutes after the race began, Bryson and Uncle Carey rounded the corner!!

I LOVE this picture!!

EXHAUSTED!!

Carey said that when they rounded the first corner, Bryson decided that she was exhausted and had to walk. Half way through the mile, Bryson decided that she could not go any further.....until......Carey told her to turn around and look behind her. Once she saw that she was ahead of a lot of people, she took off running and finished the race!!!

After the one mile, Uncle Carey ran the 5K!

At the awards ceremony, Blake came in 2nd for his age division!

Bryson came in 3rd for her age division!

And Uncle Carey came in 1st in his age division!! Bryson tried to convince him to trade trophies since his was bigger!!

Everyone came home happy with a trophy!! The 3 winners!!
