Greenville Mile...

This year was super fun at the Greenville Mile. Both of the little boys ran in it. I have never had two kids run it in the same year. They both did so great and I was so proud of them for being involved. JD came in 8th place in his grade and got 7:04 for his time. Nick finished in the top part of his grade as well but I'm not sure the exact number as there were quite a few coming. I think he ran it in about 7:15. They both were so cute. It was really fun to see their different personalities shining through. JD had his game face on and was very competitive about the whole thing. He had planned out different strategies and got himself all pumped up for the big event. In fact he was so mad because he got a bad side ache and wasn't able to do his best. The pictures say it all.

Nick on the other hand was super laid back and relaxed about the whole thing. When they lined the 5th grade boys up at the starting line, he was smiling and laughing with his friends....no big deal. When he came across the finish line, he was looking at me, smiling for the camera, just having a grand time.

They had a lot of fun with their cute friends and it was awesome they could be in it together. JD stewed about the whole thing for days afterward trying to figure out what went wrong. He drove me absolutely crazy and was already planning what he was going to do next year. Watch out!
