Fit for fun run

My mom and sister are workout-aholics! The devoted kind, where they schedule events around their work outs. Well, I think they are wearing off on my husband. Lately he's been signing up for half marathons and RAGNAR and all those other crazy fun events. So when Porter came home from school with a flyer about his school Fit For Fun Run I wasn't surprised that he wouldn't settle with doing the kids 5K but he was determined to do the 5K. I was happy to see him wanting to participate in this but slightly worried. He plays soccer and likes playing outside but running a 5K was not something I had seen him do. We trained a little for it and he would do the 3.1 miles great on his bike.... But time was up and before I knew it we were all in our matching t-shirts ready for the count down. Porter found a few friends right before the race and decided he was going to run it with them instead of with the family ( a sad, my baby is growing up to fast, moment for me) And he was off. I couldn't believe how well he was doing and how hard I had to run to catch up. He finished and didn't give up.  I was such a proud momma. He had made a goal to do something and finished it even though it was much harder then he had expected. Way to go Porter!
