Running Rock Star

Oh how I wish I was talking about me, but no, I am talking about Andrew. A few weeks ago a few of our friends hosted a Japan fundraiser 5K which Jim decided to run. Andrew really wanted to run it too. He has never showed an interest in running except for what he does in soccer, football, baseball, etc., etc. Jim took him to the race and Andrew ran the entire 5K. For me, a wanna be but really not a runner this was amazing! I couldn't go out and run over three miles without training! I was so proud of him and he loved it too. He was especially proud 'cause he beat his dad. Last weekend Jim went to do another fundraiser race for a friend with cancer and Andrew once again wanted to go. This time was harder for him and he had to walk some. He told me this race felt longer than the other one but he still beat his dad ;). Jim got an e-mail with the finishing times and Andrew finished in 32 minutes. That's a 10 minute mile even with having to walk some. Yep, once again I am a proud mom!
