My in-laws live in a very nice neighborhood where a school sponsers a 5K race and also a 1 mile fun run for kids. The boys did the race last year and really enjoyed it they asked again this year to do it. Kaleb did the 1 mile fun run as you can see him below getting ready to start racing. Isn't he cute!
Here is Kaleb running toward the finish line he did so good I was so proud of him. He finished first or second in his age group and around 12th overall the boys. He beat some Jr. High and high school boys. He did a 6:50 mile I think he would've beat me..:) He sure is quick.
Here is Lucas getting ready for his race he decided to do the 5K. As he was lining up he found a few of his friends were also racing in it.
And my little guy finished last although I was later told by my mother in law there was one or two people after him. After the race was all said and done I found out that while he was running a lady right behind him starting puking and then collapsed. He stopped running to help her up and brought her to a police man who brought her to get some water. While tending to this lady he ended up getting passed by everyone and finished almost last with a police escort as you can see. He didn't mind one little bit I was so proud of him that he helped that lady and didn't care about finishing with a good time. I wouldn't have even known if some lady hadn't come up to me when he finished and told me that she thought it was so nice he helped that lady on the course. I asked him about it when we were in the car on the way home and that's when he told me what happened. Oh my I almost started crying! To him it was just what anyone should do I am so proud of him for how he handled that!
