Run, Forrest Wade, Ruuuuun!!!

As far as helping out around the house and being productive, Wade was pretty much worthless this weekend. And he had a good reason to be. On Saturday morning, he ran his first half marathon! (A marathon is 26 miles, so a half marathon would be 13.1 miles.)

He's been training for it for months now, and he said he enjoyed it. His goal was to run it in less than 2 hours. He ended up placing 171 out of 493 with a time of 1:54, averaging 8:47 per mile. The winner, a 27 year old, clocked in at 1:09, which would be, get this.... 5:16 per mile!

Waiting for Daddy. R&B loved clapping for all the runners. :)

Still waiting... I was getting worried that he had already gone by.

There he is.......and there he goes! (He looks alone, but there were actually other runners!)After the race. Great job, babe!

Watching all those in-shape runners made me want to be a runner, too. Only that I hate to run. So I admire Wade a ton for this accomplishment. It was so funny watching the kids' reactions as he ran by us and waved. They were like, "Hey, there's dad! But why is he running away from us?" Not sure if he'll keep doing more races in the future, but either way, we are reeeeaaallly proud of him for doing this one!
