The boys participated in their first official run today! It was the Sacramento Zoo's Zoo Zoom Kids Runs. J.D. has been asking for weeks, "How many days until my 1/2 marathon?" Ever since Mike & I ran a 1/2 marathon last October & then Mike did another one last month, J.D.'s been begging to do one. It wasn't quite a 1/2 marathon that he did today, but I'm sure he'll work up to one eventually! Colby's age group ran 220 yards & J.D.'s age group ran a 1/2 mile. They got their shirts & bibs early this morning in front of the zoo entrance. All the kids had the number "1" on their bib! Then we had to wait for the 5K & 10K runs to finish. It was fun watching the first runners of the 10K run the final stretch to the finish line....they were so fast! Colby's group went first & Mike did the run with him. J.D. was in the third group & Mike also ran with him.....although J.D. left him in the dust when he got close to the finish line! The boys got medals at the finish line & were pretty excited! Unfortunately we didn't get to go to the zoo afterwards like we had planned. The weather was just too bad today. Thankfully the rain & strong winds started right after the last run finished, so we were able to stay dry! We'll just have to plan a trip to the Sacramento Zoo another day!
