One of the local churches had a 5k and kids 1 mile run. My schedule had me doing 16 miles that morning, so I couldn’t do the 5k, but I thought Riley would like the 1 mile run. As we were leaving, Jackson decided he wanted to go to. Once we arrived I pulled the stroller out of the car, but Jax wanted to RUN. So, I registered all 3 of us, and we waited for the race to start. It was challenging to get Jackson to 1) wear his number and 2)smile for the camera. After several attempts with Riley holding Jax still and Jax screaming at the top of his lungs for the picture, I caved. There was a large platter of chocolate chip cookies on a nearby table, and I promised Jax he could have one if he smiled for the camera and wore his number.
Later, we started off on the run. Jax made it about 20 feet before turning to me with arms outstretched and imploring “MOMMY I CARRY YOU”
So, I scooped him up, ran him back to the start where my friend was waiting with his 2 year old (much smarter than me, that one), and then sprinted to catch up with Riley.
She did pretty well. Finished in about 12 minutes. Not bad for someone barely 4 feet tall!
