july 4th run

The boys and I ran the city 5k on the 4th.  I am so proud of them.  I think we all improved.  Ryan ran it in about 23 minutes.  Not sure about Jared's time, but he was happy with it.  Jacob finished it in about 34 minutes, but apparently it would have been faster if he hadn't had to puke before he got to the finish line!  Poor kid!  I felt bad that I wasn't there with him, but I was running with Matthew. He did great -- we finished around 37 minutes.  That's like 8 minutes faster than last year!  Matthew really tried to run most of it, didn't complain, and took shorter walk breaks.  I think it helped that Mark cheered us on at a couple places along the race route.  The shirts we got were awesome, and yes -- I have no pictures! It was so much fun!
