River Bank Run

For the first time, Ryan ran in the River Bank Run 5K this year.  His school had a run club and at the end, they could run in the River Bank Run.  I am so proud of him and how he worked very hard to get ready for the fun.  Lots of exercising, eating right and run club at school at 7:30 am a couple times a week for several weeks.



Lots of carbs in the VERY early morning of the race.  He had to get up at 5:15!  And like a trooper that he is, up and at it with a smile. 




Stretching out before the start.




Getting ready to start.


Ryan was running a 25 or 26 minutes in practices.  This time, he beat his personal best with an official finish time of 24:22!  Very proud of that kid!




My proud runner!  He's got first place with me!!!








I think it's great to encourage your kids to try new things and have a variety of activities.  One of the most important things as a parent that you can do for your kids is to support them.  They want it and need it!

I love being a Mom and I love by boys!
