That Time of Year Again

The running club at Eric's school is off and "running".  Today was Eric's first race of the season (they only have three or four races total, so it's not much of a season).  He did well, kept a good pace and finished with a positive attitude!  There were hundreds of kids participating in the race and at least that many parents cheering their kids on, so it was hard to get pictures of Eric, but I was able to snap a few with my telephoto lens. The weather was perfect for race day - sunny and in the mid-70s (that's for all my friends suffering with snow right now :)

I LOVE that he is in a running club! So great to see he's still interested in it. And yes, so jealous of your weather! We got some freezing rain and snow (VERY little snow) and they had a 2-hour delay for school. Ridiculous!

Glad that all is well there!

He really loves to run doesn't he?! Arian was running all the time because his school has a running program and they get a little plastic foot token for every mile they run. I guess the novelty wore off. I wish he was still doing it. It looks like Eric is really enjoying himself and trying really hard. It's great!
