My Big Man ran his 1st 5K a week ago and we are so so so so so proud of him!!! He's been running for over a year now and decided to finally take it on. He REALLY wanted to run a 1/2 marathon in 2010, but as soon as he started training he realized his mind was a little ahead of his body. He underestimated his age :) He could only run 3-5 miles without his knee hurting badly. So I told him, "ya know, even if you run a few miles, a few times a week, that's just fine" (and WAY more than me, I'm soooo not a runner!) Anyway, after New Year's he said he was doin a 5K and HE DID IT!!! Of course, we are on day 7 now and he says his body STILL hurts...today he told me he had to eat left handed, b/c it hurt too much to eat with the right! AND...he's been applying Bengay every night...I told him nothing says old like Bengay!!!
My Lil' Man got his hair cut:(...I was really upset about this, but he's been asking/begging for over a year, so I finally gave in. AND, you know what?...it looks really good!! It makes his baby blues look sooooo BIG and he really is sooooo CUTE no matter how he wears his hair!! I keep telling E, he is our lil Rico Suave...he LOVES to fix his hair, pick out his clothes, plan what he's wearing the next day and change his outfit 5 times per day! Oh and all this hard work pays off, the ladies LOVE him! We've already gotten several love notes in the backpack...and we're only in PreK!!
Here's some before and after pics...
