Easter Race

The day before Easter (sat) We gave the kids the choice of going to the City Easter Egg hunt or going up to Hill Air Force Base to do a race. The kids instantly chose to go to the race. It was a little colder than we thought, but was a great day for a race. Asher and I did the kid mile while Nelson and Max did the 5k. I was suppose to run with Max but ended up hurting my hip flexor a few nights before.

Asher had a great race. He came in third, right behind a 13 and 10 year old. He finished it in 9:40. He was so proud of himself. He did such a great job and did not have to walk once. This is him chugging down some Gatorade in his new race bottle. He then had the perks of getting his picture taken with the Easter Bunny. He thought he was the coolest kid in the world.










This is Max and Nelson at the very end of the race. Max ended up finishing the race in the top 10 of everyone who entered. His time was 22:42 which was a 7:52 pace each mile. This is the best he has gotten yet. He was so excited. As you can tell, he pushed it and was pretty beat.

Later that day Max commented he was disappointed we did not really get to celebrate how well he did because of Asher's accident. Hope he knows how proud of him we really are. They did fantastic. Feel bad the events of the day overshadowed the accomplishment.
