fall festival~

Madison and I ran a 5K fun run together this past weekend at the Fall Festival. Brock and I have done this run the past four years, and I was going to sit this year out since I'm way out of shape. Then I got the idea of doing the run with Madison and she thought that sounded really fun. It's been fun getting to spend alone time with Madison while we've been training together. She's such a fun little girl! We didn't run the whole way of course, but I would say we ran a little over half which isn't too bad for a 6 yr old! Half way through the race she said, "mommy, next year let's do the 1K, this is way too hard." She made it though, and even managed to pull of 3rd place for her age group! She was so thrilled to get a medal! Brock also did the fall festival run, but he did the 10K and did a great job!
Today is our last day with Brock for the next two weeks. He has to travel out of the country for work. I'm not sure how I'm going to get by without him! He's so good about helping out with the kids, and always takes Madison to school on his way to work. So this should be interesting. I'm sure everything will be fine, I know many people have it way worse than me!
