First Race, originally uploaded by tigerpaw511.
We ran the ‘Cinco De Mayo – Reaching For The Cure’ 5k in Irvine today. When that was over Parker participated in the kids 1K Fun Run. Did he have fun…?? He said he wants to do another race this Wednesday. I never thought Lena could look so proud. She has a marathoner in training.
This was a nice event. Great expo and a large turnout. Will probably make this an annual event.
We headed out to Riverside for the Mission Inn 10K Run. The weather was cool but windy. This was the first “organized” run Lena has done in a long time…and she won a medal!
Dylan ran his race a minute faster than last year and also won a medal! Grandpa did great and grandma was there cheering us all on with Parker. Here are some photos of the event as well as some pre/post run shots. Enjoy.
Today we went out to Riverside to participate in the Mission Inn .5K, 5k, and 10K events. Dad started off with the 5K walk and placed 8th. We were all very proud to see him out there less than a year after recovering from a quadruple bypass. Way to go Dad!!! After Dad’s race it was my turn to run the 10K. Although the course was hilly in places, it was a very scenic route. The weather was perfect and the event was not crowded like Long Beach. The hightlight of my (and Lena’s) day was watching Dylan run in his first ever race. The distance: .5K. Lena and I got to run beside and behind him the entire time. He had a ball. He easily completed the run and pretended to be out of breath at the finish line. Afterwards, Dylan was presented with a medal for his run. On the way home he asked when his next race was!!!!
