Where’s Mom this week?
Mom and Michael thought it would be fun to do a local Jingle Run – I ran the 5k (with Stephanie) and Michael and I had planned to run the 1k together - with Jingle bells on our shoes!
I say planned because I did plan to run with him. Until he left me in the dust.
I guess he didn’t realize that race didn’t really mean race.
Here we are at the starting line.
And we were he was off!
I was able to cut across the course and catch up with him while he caught his breath. I tried to give a quick summary of what “pacing” meant…
But that obviously didn’t work because this is where I stayed for the rest of the race…
Way behind Speedy the Sprinter.
Maybe we’ll try again next year. I’m thinking a relay might be fun…
Carin is on week 51 of 52! Go visit her!

What a great activity to do together. I think a family relay would be so fun.

Awesome! Too funny about doing it “together”! My kids would leave me in the dust for sure. Glad you managed to get some good pictures to document it all.
Oh, that is so cute!! Mom and I did a race when I was little… so fun.
That is hysterical! You go Michael!
Hooray for both of you! I really did enjoy running that race with you. You struck me as a super sweet and fun person…and I look forward to getting to know you better.
