Cross Country 5k and 1 mile

Saturday April 3rd 2010

Josh ran the 5k cross country race here in Sacramento. We were all there to cheer him on.

Dalen and Deveon raced the kids 1 mile and were happy to finish...It was the furthest they have ever run and it had two hills...We were so proud of them!

Running through Sacramento

Josh * Erick * Adam

The night before the race {in honor of these guys} we took them out for a pasta carbo-load at Carmines here in Elk Grove. We had the six of us adults and all our kiddos {9} It was a lot of fun...

The race started in Folsom, CA and ended in Discovery Park, Sacramento CA {where the Sacramento and the American River meet} 26.2 miles to be exact! While the guys ran, Erick's wife {my BF Tami} and I plus all 6 of our kiddos drove around to meet them at various points throughout the trail to cheer em' on and give them banana's, drinks, and kisses! They really loved the support...We really tried to make it to all of the spots but I believe we made 3 out of the 5 cheer spots...but they were happy to see us each time...and we were happy to cheer for them even our friend's hubby whose daughters had soccer games so we stepped in for her {minus the kisses ha!}...

Finishing the Race with Dalen and Deveon...

The Proud MARATHONERS after the Race {eating Chili - Josh said he had three bowls and his tummy growled after his third bowl} Later that night, we all went to Texas Roadhouse {this time minus kids} and then went to see 2012...It was a crazy but fun weekend...

The Runnig Miles Family

Josh ran his 10K using this as his training for his marathon in November and I ran my first 5K and didn't die! It was great to have worked for something and see it through to the end...I will continue running throughout my pregnancy and maybe do another 5K soon!

"It's Fun to Run" says JD

We get to the park at 6:30 am, turns out we didn't need to be there until 7:30...we decide to make the best of it and go down by the lake at the park where the starting point for the 1/2 marathon runners...here are some photos of the bros and the kids...
