Yay Bristol!!!!

Bristol is a runner. He loves it. I entered him in the Speedy Spaniard 1 mile. It's for kids 12 and under. I wasn't sure how he would do, but I knew he would have fun running with other kids. He had so much fun, and he got 1st place for his age division! 28 over all! It was so cool, I am so proud of him! Yay Bristol! Here he is before the race, he thought it was so cool that he got to wear a number.


Here he is standing by the list of kids running. His name is on there somewhere. I bet if you look real hard you could find it.

Waiting for the race to start.


After the race they were taking his name so they could put them in order and which place they finished.


After the race they got a popsicle. I think he was most excited about this. I wish I would have got a picture of the grin on his face when they first handed it to him.


Here is his card telling the place he finished. He finished in 9 minutes 35 seconds. Was first in the 1-5 year olds.


Here's Bristol with his gold medal and a big thumbs up! I am so proud of him! As he was running to the finish and everyone was cheering for him, I started crying. I'm such a boob. :)

Here is a video of Bristol almost to the finish line.

How come I can't look that cute when I run? Justus is looking for a new running partner, is he interested?
