Dash for Trash

A few days ago we were really impressed with Madison's running! Last night Johnny decided to run a 1 mile race with Maddy. He was originally going to run the 10k but found out he had to work at 8 and didnt want to call in sick so instead he took the week off of running. The 1 mile race with Maddy would be easy and for fun.

We stood in line to register them and someone from the race a couple weeks ago recognized Johnny and was asking if he was going to smoke them again. He ended up giving in and registering for the 10k.

Maddy got her number and headed to the starting line with Johnny. They ended up getting dead last mostly because Maddy was distracted by water and signs and of course her favorite park! She finished the race running with a big grin on her face!

Johnny had to hurry and warm up for his race and they were off! I headed over to the other side of the river to get a picture and to cheer him on. As he ran up to us at about 1/2 way, I heard a man telling everyone around that he was the one who had finished first at the Ocotillo race. It was cool to see that people recognized him. We headed back to the finish line where Johnny came in third.

All in all it was an exciting morning and Im very happy that we are getting Madison interested in running at such an early age! I really want to sign her up for gymnastics and soccer and swimming and everything I can when we get back now that she will be 3!!!
