5K Race!!

 

Najimy guys at their first 5K

 

Charlie, Cal, and James all participated in their first 5K race this past weekend!  It was a rather cool, overcast day with temps in the upper 50s.  There were approximately 50 racers that participated in this run supporting thyroid research.

 The boys and Charlie have been training several times a week for the past few months running on the road from our house.  This is a new sport that the whole family seems to have taken to recently.  We even have a path all marked by 1/2 and 1/4 miles so we know what distance we have run.

The boys placed well in the children's division...with James coming in second and Cal right behind him!  They were able to participate in the race with some family friends running alongside or behind them as well.  Each of them finished the race beating their personal training times previously held. 

They finished the race by coming in to the finish line amid cheers of bystanders, photo-taking Mom, and bell-ringing sisters!  They are looking forward to completing more 5K runs and races in the future.
