On Saturday we did PATS RUN!! It was such a fun experience! We signed up back in December and I had been "running" 3 days a week to train! I was so disappointed when I woke up on Friday with a cold...but decided to do the run anyway! Benson and I ran together...I am sure he was so frustrated with how slow I was...but he stuck with me anyway!
Before the run...waiting at the start.. On the way to the race I was so nervous I wanted to puke!!! But when we got there I was super excited and I really wanted to do it!

WE MADE IT!!! Crossing the finish line was such a great feeling!!!

After we raced we rushed to meet up with my mom who brought the kids down to do the kids run! Our kids were so excited and Ben made it clear he wouldn't be waiting for anyone....he was in it to win it :)

Nate was so excited to meet up with his buddy Blake..

Ben and Benson getting pumped up...Benson decided he would run the race with Ben...but once the race started Ben took off and Benson lost sight of him...Ben was so happy that he "smoked him" and that Ben beat the whole family!!


After the race we met up on the field...


We really had a great time! I wish I would have met my goal to run the entire time...but with being sick it just wasn't in the cards for me this time...but we did run about 3/4 of the time..which is a far cry from where I was when I started training. I am already thinking about the next race!!

YAY! I'm so glad it was a good experience for you and I'm adding an extra YAY for doing it with a cold! Go YOU! What a good guy for running with you! Last year Elliot had to leave me because he doesn't like running in place. :) I'm so glad you did it and once again, I'm sorry I couldn't do the run with you . . . next year for sure . . . unless we have another little miracle in the oven. Wouldn't that be fun?
Way to go! Very impressive that you ran 3/4 of it. I'm doing the whiskey row 10k in a few weeks. Nervous and haven't been training like I should..... ):
