We Are All Winners...Maybe Even Winers (at the end)

Well the race is over and the work is done. Finished two classes this weekend and finished my first of many races. Overall thoughts...feel good about what I have done. But what I feel most proud of is that my kids, all three of them completed the race too. Casey who walked it finished in a decent time. She was smiling and decorated herself for the theme. Trystin whom never has run a race or even ran than more a mile, did a 5k in 25.49. Wow super proud of that. Told him that he should start to run. And Carson, the one I worry about the most. He has the self esteem of a champion. I knew he would struggle and wasn't prepared but would wait for him at the finish line. He came in 35.45. Tears flowed and I knew they would but there was a sense of pride there. I am proud of all of them. Even my husband, who I didn't see in the beginning and barely seen him in the end, I was proud. Proud of the fact that we are working on health in our house. We are trying to feel better about ourselves. It is a process. Hopefully we can get the kids in more events. We will see. The consensus last nite is "I am sore and my legs hurt"...ahhhhhhhh
