John, Ian and Mason ran their first race of the year today. It was the YMCA St. Patrick's Day Basic 5 run. Ian and Mason did the 1 mile kids race and John did the 5K race. We were all a little sad when we woke up to an inch of snow, and it was a very cold and muddy race.
John got 4th place overall and 1st place for his age group. He was disapointed he didn't get 3rd place because the top 3 finishers got plaques and prizes. Plus the guy who got third was really old . . . like Grandpa old.
Ian got 3rd place for all 7-8 year olds, so he was VERY proud of himself.
Mason was doing really well at the beginning . . . but then a kid tripped him and he fell flat on his face (see picture above). He tore a big whole in his new sweat pants and he had quite the bloody knee. He walked and cried almost the whole race, but at the end he sprinted past a 4 year old girl, which made him a little bit happy.
Good job on the race. Just remember one day you will be old also!! Hopefully we will still be around to see it.
