Jacob took part in the kids marathon for the 3rd year in a row during the Fargo Marathon. He really enjoys taking part in the mile run even though he looks like he’s about to die at the end of the race! This year Brandon was running it too. Jacob really wanted to run with Brandon but Brandon was running with Dan so I decided I’d run with Jacob so he didn’t slow Dan and Brandon down. Talk about a cluster!! Of course the two boys had to as close to the front of the pack as possible. I was actually getting nervous for the kids mile run! But I was nervous about getting run over by a herd of kids!! The race started and off we went. Dan and Brandon took off really quick and I knew there was no way we’d keep up with them. So Jacob and I weaved our way through the pack of kids and eventually made it to the finish line. The last 100 meters I looked at Jacob and told him to sprint while I jogged it in. I was so proud of him. He crossed the finish line around 8:20 and his best time for the mile in school this year was 9:43. Maybe next year he’ll be down to 7 minutes!! We’ll work on it. It was a lot of fun running with him. I think we’ll put MaKena in the ½ mile next year!
Brandon and Jacob before the big race!
Alexis got a nice shot of me and Jacob running. This must have been about the time I told him to sprint!!
After the race, the boys showing off their medals! Look at how red their faces are!
Jacob dumped some water on his head because he was so hot!!
