Rookie Runners
We have four more runners in our house. After and during Brad’s mini-marathon training, they’ve been running their hearts out: 3 runs around the block on Sunday, laps around the outside of the house, sprints from one end of the house to another. {If you can’t tell, they look up to their daddy intensely!}
We discovered that part of the 500 Festival in Indianapolis during the month of May includes a non-competitive Rookie Run for kids ages 3-12. It took no convincing to sign these band of brothers up for their first race!
Of course, their superhero capes gave them an unfair advantage in speed and strength. {It’s all superhero all the time at our house!}
Carbin’ Up before the race… 😉
We had time after picking up our registration packets to enjoy the Kid’s Festival and check out lots of the activities and displays. We also had the privilege of running into former congressman Mike Pence, who is running for governor of our state. {He asked us for a picture to post on his Facebook page. 😉 }
At 1:40 the 5 year olds race began, thankfully our boys were in the second heat, because they were ready to run!
On your marks… Get set…..
RUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
What a great way to spend Mother’s Day weekend with my boys. At one point after the race, I looked at Brad and said, “Brad, we have quadruplets, and they all are able to run in a race!” {It’s nothing short of miraculous.}
They’ve accomplished so much in their 5 years of life, and I’m so thankful to be their Mama.
And the race continues…
