William's first 5k

At the last minute, I asked William if he wanted to run a 5k with me. He has been interested in running lately and has been asking frequently to run on our treadmill.

When he agreed, I signed us up!

It was cold that morning standing around, but I quickly realized we were overdressed.

William easily ran the first 1 and a half miles with me and then ran out of steam. We walked most of the rest of the route with occasional bursts of jogging.

Just before we turned the last corner, William told me he NEVER wanted to run one of these again. After we crossed the finish line, he had himself 2 pieces of cake and multiple glasses of juice. (Mom had a banana). When we got home, daddy was cooking up pancakes to celebrate his race.

I asked him again that afternoon if he would run another race with me and he said he would love to- just not tomorrow!
