A family of runners!

Geoff & I have set this crazy goal of running the Disneyworld Half Marathon next year. So, we're going to run at least 1 race a month in order to get ourselves ready! Our first race this year kinda got a little messed up because it fell on a weekend when my mom was out of town, so we had no one to watch the boys for us. So, Geoff took one for the team & let me run! Kirkland got to do the 1/2 mile fun run before my 5K. He was so excited to be in a real race!
My dad has run countless half marathons & even some full marathons, so he was beyond excited to come & watch Kirkland carry on a family tradition of running. Aunt Linda & Uncle Tom even showed up to cheer him on! (& yes, they almost always have color coordinating clothes on-it's just their thing)
He did AWESOME!! He is naturally fast!
My dad LOVES to give advice! Today was no exception-here he's giving me tips on double stage breathing.
It was a fun race, but I'll be glad to have Geoff with me for the next one! I run WAY faster when I have him there to coach me up!
