Fun Run.. you know, for kids!

Last Saturday we participated in our second annual Novell's Fun Run for kids. Apparently I didn't blog about it last year. Shocker.  I sat out of this one due to the fact that I'm having a baby next week. Greg ran the 5K though!

Isaac's pre-race jitters
Isaac was awesome. He was so excited to run but I snapped this shot just before his 100 meter race.  After the race, he kept begging to run again and again.  Even at bed time he said, "I want to race!"  He had a great time and came in first place for boys ages 0-2.  He was terrified of being on the podium on top of the platform but pulled it together for a classic shot. I love his enormous t-shirt.


I apologize for my extremely loud, high pitch voice while filming.. I was into it (seriously - you'll want to turn the volume down before viewing).



The progression of these photos make me laugh. Greg was not loving looking into the sun and suggested I take it at an angle:




Jack's run was a 1/2 mile total, up quite a steep hill, twice. The poor kid got tripped up by another kid who was confused that he had to run the track twice. I was proud that Jack kept going and finished his race.


Charlie came in first for boys in his age group too. (There's always a long legged girl he can't ever seem to pass.)



It was, indeed, a fun run. Way to go, men!
