Father’s Day 5k

Happy Father’s Day to all you Dad’s out there!! Or, more likely, to the dad’s and husbands of the girls reading this! If there are any guy readers, though, FANTASTIC!

This is how we started our Father’s Day:

A Father’s Day 5k!

We woke up bright and early this morning and headed downtown. The race started and ended right outside Progressive Field (where the Indians play if you’re not a Clevelander), which was great. It was a very small race, so there was no fancy chip timer, just the old school bib-pull off. Perfect for a relaxed, family run.

Once it was time, J and C put on their game faces.

C really wanted to PR today, so I got to be the pacer. It was fun!

He did great! FInished in 32:33, which is a whole minute and 21 seconds than the last 5k he ran in May!

I’m such the proud mama. :)

After the race they opened the field up for a “victory lap”. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

The field seems a whole heck of a lot bigger once you’re actually down there. I could never imagine having to catch a fly ball in that outfield!!

We are about to head to my parents for dinner in a little bit, and to spend time with my dad .

    What a cute family affair :) I started my day with the Towpath 10-10 Ten Miler. Yikes! We are actually celebrating Father’s Day NEXT Sunday because my husband is working today and my dad is headed to Chicago this afternoon. I still can’t get over my random run-in with you and Allison at WF.
