Jake ran his first 5K today! They had a raffle for two free entries at his work and he won one of them. He wasn't too excited about it, but I think he caught the running bug. He did great! He came in 3rd place in his age division! Emmy and I waited at the finish line for him and we were so proud! Emmy was so excited to see her daddy running toward us. And not only did Jake get a medal, he also won a $25 gift card to WalMart in a raffle! Yes! I guess it was Jake's lucky day :) He thinks he wants to run some more 5K's, and with some training (that's right, he didn't really train, just ran a couple of miles for a couple of days) he might come in first in his age division next time. I told him I'd run it with him next year. That gives me a whole year to prepare :)
Here are some highlights:
We brought Emmy's camera so she could take pictures of daddy. She's taking pic's of some other runners here while we wait for daddy to come.
Here comes Jake! Emmy seriously got SO excited when she saw him!
He was happy to see us routing for him at the finish line :)
Daddy and proud Emmy, still holding her camera :)

I am so excited to see another fellow runner. This is how Mary got started with me...just a 5K, then soon enough it will be marathon training. Are you guys in, LOL?
Yay Jake!! I have yet to run a 5K, but will by the end of summer...
by the way: you look amazing for 34 weeks!
Congrats Jake I'm so jealous of you I can't wait till I can do that. Good job for coming in 3 place!!!
K for a minute I thought you said YOU and Jake ran it and I kept thinking, "Wow, she's ambitious for being prego!" So funny! Great job Jake!
