Kids "Run 4 Fun"

Dear Journal~

I am so proud of Brennan, today he completed his first 1K. He came in 1st for the 8 year old age group and beat his practice time of 6 minutes by 2.

This is Brennan coming across the finish line.

A couple of weeks ago Brennan asked me if I would sign him up to run in the Kids Run 4 Fun.

Here's Bren with his number on, ready to go...we had to get up at 5:50 to get ready.

After we registered him, Brennan promptly started training each day.

Grandma & Grandpa braved the rain and early morning hours on this cold Saturday to see Brennan run. When Brennan saw them he was so cute & said "Thanks for being my #1Fans. My Dad isn't even out of bed yet.

On the morning of the race it was raining and super cold for St. George....Just before the race started it began to snow...

Here are all 60 kids lined up waiting to race as the snow is blowing right in there faces! Bless their hearts there were even a couple of cute little little kids running at age 4.

Mr. Brennan was one of the first kids on the line...When they took off a bunch of kids passed him and he was about 25 deep by the time they were at the .1 mark. But Brennan wasn't worried he just kept his same pace as he ran...by the time they reached .2 mark he had only about 15 kids in front of him & when I saw him pass the .3 mark he was down to 12 kids. I couldn't see him until right at the finish line, but by then he had passed a couple more kids and was the 8th kid to cross the line.

Here is Bren waiting to start the race.

All in all Brennan had a lot of fun & I'm so proud of him for doing something that's all his own, in our family.

Way to go!

I love my runner Brennan so much.

Love Shondell
