The kids, my mom and I ended up participating in a fun run last weekend while Daddy was out scouting for deer. It was the 1 mile Jingle Bell run for the Arthritis Foundation. Since I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was 11, I knew this would be a great event to particpate in.
Hartzell left us a good luck message that morning.
We planned for Kelton to run ahead a far as he felt comfortable, Katie and I would run together and my mom would push Konny in the stroller. We wore santa hats and tied jingle bells to our shoes. We could not have asked for better weather, it was 60 degrees!!
We all had so much fun! I can't wait to do something like this with the kids again. They loved it!
Kelton finished at 8:47. I had Katie hold my hand the whole time because it was rather congested. I let her run on her own when we could see the finish. The other adults around us slowed down and cheered her on with me as she ran though the finish (giggling). Kelton was waiting and she jumped into his arms. I have to say it ranks in my top 10 favorite moments as a parent! It was so cute!
Kelton ran the 2 Mile Turkey Trot last month also and did great! I had a funeral to attend so I couldn't run with him but one of my friends did instead.
Next weekend, Kelton and I are signed up for the 5K Reindeer Run. Hopefully the weather is nice!
