Safari Run 8k

I didn't run this one but I was out there timing it with my partner in crime.  It was cold, rainy and muddy and there were some great runners out there.  As the runners came in with mud up and down their back sides I couldn't complain about how I couldn't feel my hands because they all did an awesome job.  I almost got puked on by one of the elites finishing while I was trying to rip the bottom of the bib off but it was all good.  This race has always been a fun one and for a great cause this year just didn't happen to have the best weather but everyone who braved it did awesome!  I am so glad that I didn't end up having to bring the little guy to this race because that would have been a disaster luckily he was safe and warm at home with his dad.  Needless to say I kept my workouts indoors this weekend but my poor son was going nuts having to be inside so much.  We took advantage every time there was a lull in the rain and went and ran up and down the side walk.  Here are some pics:

This is what each runner got pretty cool!

So my son did 1/2 a mile yesterday that's the farthest he's ever gone.  He walked, ran and wobbled.  That kid loves to be outside running around.  When we got to the end of the street I tried to get him to turn around to go home but he wasn't having it he wanted to keep going so I let him.  I also tried to carry him a little bit on the uphill when he seemed tired but he wiggled his way back down.
