Owen's Race Day

One of Owen's goals for the month of June was to run in a race! We got lucky and found a 1 mile run very close to our house and I decided to sign us all up for it. As soon as we got there I noticed that Owen had his game face on. He was focused, serious and ready to start! He hopped off his bike and immediately began doing some stretches. Amazing stretches. Stretches that have never been seen before. Paige got into it too with some stretches of her own. We paired off and when the race started Owen sprinted off followed closely behind by Pat. Pat said Owen probably sprinted about 90% of the race with a few walking breaks sprinkled in. They were the first ones to finish the 1 mile and he was very proud. Paige got a little discouraged once Pat and Owen were out of our sight but kept at it and walked/ran the entire thing. She picked it up at the end though, once we could see the finish and I think they both had a positive experience.
