Run, Kyle, Run!

A couple of weekend's ago, we went to meet Ben's parents and Marti for the Tybee Island Race.  Kyle participated in the 1 mile run with Little Pa (Mr. John) and Marti.  The weather was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!  It was hard to believe that it was just the first week of February.  (I'm SO glad we live in the South!!) :-)
When it was time to head over to the starting line, Marti and Kyle needed to warm up... DeDe was coaching them along. :-)

Then it was time to line up with Pa.

And then they were off!! Once they left the starting area, Ms. Denise, Evan and I made our way over to the finish line.  I was so excited and nervous for Kyle. I think that was the longest 13 minutes ever.  I was really worried.  What if he got tired, what if he wanted to quit, what if..., what if.... (Yes, I am a worry wart of a mama!)  And then we spotted them!! Don't they look like little pros?!?!

I am SOOOOO proud of Kyle and Marti (and Mr. John-but more so for completing the half marathon earlier in the day and still being able to stand to run another mile with the grand kids)!  I think they got a few bumps and bruises along the way but they had a BLAST!  Kyle was and still is OVER the moon for his medal!  He wore it everywhere that weekend and told everyone that "he, and Marti and Pa ALL won the race!" What sweet, fun memories.....

And on a total side note, he slept ALL night long that night!! I have considered signing him up for a different race every weekend since!! ha ha:-)
