Jacob ran in his first race the weekend before Thanksgiving. The race was down in Hot Springs. I have family down there so we visited with them while we were there. Jacob did really well in his race. He raced in the 5 and 6 year old group and came in 2nd. (The winner was obviously 6.) They ran .6 miles. He ran it in a sprint and was totally worn out at the end.
At the starting line.
In full sprint. I had him out running with me a lot to get ready for this race and told him not to do this or he wouldn't make it to the finish line but when all the kids took off like this I thought I hope he makes it to the end.
They ran down the path to where you could see them so I thought we have about 5 min until we'll be able to see him again. Then I saw these 2 little kids coming back and one was Jacob. I could not believe it. His time at the finish line was 5 min 30 sec. WOW!!!!
Proud Papa and a tired little boy.

We are so proud of him.

We're so proud of him! He ran his little heart out. I will send you the pic of him sprinting off in a dash so you can load it on here. It's too good of a picture. I'm so good! I love the music BTW.
Great job Jacob!!! I wish Oliver would have had his coat to run with them in the race!!!
