Cooper had several "firsts" this week, and one of them that was especially exciting was completing his first race with Daddy! Todd has a 2011 goal to run in 5 5Ks and 2 10Ks, and his first 5K of the year was the Bearathon at Baylor this weekend. Over the past couple of years, Todd has run the Bearathon Half-Marathon twice (and would love to run it again!), but because the intense training that would be needed to complete the Half-Marathon would take away from his time with little Cooper, he decided to just stick with the 5K this year. Running 5Ks is a piece of cake for Todd- in fact, the night before the race, Todd was out until midnight celebrating his birthday with poker, cigars, and beers! So much for being well rested on race day!
But overall, Todd did great! He has only run with Cooper in the jogging stroller a few times, but decided that he wanted to run with his boy on race day!
Here they are- crossing the finish line in around 27 minutes!
Way to go, Daddy! Cooper didn't make a peep the whole race- and I am guessing that towards the end of it, that sweet boy fell asleep!
I was definitely a proud wifey and a proud mama! I love my big guy and my little guy!
This is the face of a champion, right here! I am so excited to get to cheer you on in your future sporting events, Baby Coop!
