While we were in Houston, Eric and Ford participated in the Summer Kick-Off 5K at Clear Creek High School. Eric and I had done this race back in 2005 and enjoyed it, so he signed up for the 5K and Ford the Kids K. Ford had participated in a Kids K in Austin in 2009, but I ran with him and he definitely couldn't make it the entire way on his own. This race was different, Ford was going to do it ALL BY HIMSELF. It was just about a half-mile, but still! He's only 4!
All ready to go! He's "chipped" and "numbered!"
Check out the little guy! Ford is in the black t-shirt next to the orange cone. He's ready to compete against all the big kids! I think the race was 12 & under.
Down the stretch he comes! We were SO proud that he ran the entire way all by himself. Honestly people, I was misty. This is my LITTLE boy!
On his way to the finish line!
Oh yes, a yummy donut to celebrate. Gotta replace those burned calories!
Here comes Daddy!
Happy to eat donuts and watch the race with Mom!
