Race Day!

We are so blessed to be a part of such an awesome homeschool group! Today was our Spring Sports Slam - and our Disney Give a Day - Get a Day - so sometime soon we will be headed to Disney World for free :)

Both Caleb and Delena participated in the HAWK TROT race which is a fundraiser for the Hawk's athletic booster club. Delena ran the 1 mile Hawk Trot in 9:32. Not bad, even though she was in the back of the pack and one of the younger ones running in this race. She hasn't been much of a runner so I thought she did well for her very first race and very little work to prepare for it.

Caleb ran the mini Hawk Trot, which was a 1/4 mile race. He did NO work to prepare for it and up until 20 minutes before race time he had no intention on doing it (even though I had signed him up for it ahead of time). I wasn't going to force him to do it but once he saw all his friends racing, he decided to join in. And he took 1st Place in his age group! Now I have two kids interested in running, a hubby that has run two 5ks this week --- so I better get back in the run mode! Caleb and his friend, Sam finishing the race.

Go F.I.S.H HAWKS!!
