I'm so proud of my boys! They finally participated in the Fourth Annual Valley Forge Revolutionary 5-Mile Run. It was their first run and I'm certain that they're itching to participate in more runs. Hubby is actually looking at Havertown's 5K Run & Walk on the 25th and the King of Prussia 10 Miler on the 31st of May. Exciting huh!
Wini ran the challenging five-mile course through the scenic Valley Forge National Historical Park and MJ chose to do the 1-mile Youth Fun Run. MJ practiced (2-mile run) twice for this event with his dad just two weeks before the race so I was just so glad to see him finish it without collapsing [lol]. My Wini, on the other hand, has been serious about practicing for several months. If it is not freezing, if it did not rain or if his head did not hurt he'd make his 3x a week goal. But since winter had just passed, it always rains this spring and he gets unexplainable headaches, he skipped a couple of practices. He does not take that lightly though. If he can't run, he'd do a 30-minute workout at home. Well all his hard work paid off. He finished (chip time) the race at 51:20--his best so far [compared to his PR of 57:57 during practice).
Here are videos and pictures from the said event:
