Laex's school along with the Grace Elementary school held a 5K color run fundraiser. Laex decided over a month before that he wanted to run so several weekend mornings he joined either LeGrand or I on our morning runs and 'practiced' up for his first 5K :) He had ran a little over two miles with LeGrand and was super excited for the color run. I stayed with him and helped him pace but he wasn't sure he wanted to the run the whole time or would be able to make it - I kept encouraging him & then we'd come upon one of his buddies and his competitiveness would kick in and he would find a whole new wind :) He did awesome running the whole thing without stopping - it wasn't a timed race but we figured that we finished in around 36 minutes, not bad for his first time!
