{Turkey Trot}

 
Shane and Gavin ran in the turkey trot this morning. Gavin heard about it on the radio a few days ago and said he really wanted to run in it. So, he and Shane woke up this morning at 6:15 and headed over to the Risner Gym to register for it at 6:45. The race started at 7:00. Jaydon, Tanner and I walked to the corner of our street and waited for them to run by us. We were located about 3/4 mile into their run.  Tanner used Gavin's drum to cheer for them and Jaydon held up a sign that said "Go dad and Gavin"...
 

 Here are the two smiling boys. Two peas in a pod... (I do not like the way blogger is making my pictures look. They look fine until i put them in blogger...then they look all blurry. Anyone know why?)



 Here they are about 20 feet from the end of the run.... They had a big long hill to run up in the second half of the run. Shane said Gavin picked up his pace and was trying to pass as many people as he could. Go gavin! :)
 For not having prepared for this run at all, Gavin did a great job. He did it in 27 minutes. He and Shane want to start running together more often. Then about an hour after his run he had a soccer game. Poor kid. He was pooped out after his game.
