Boys on the Move at Blue

This morning, Sam, Brayden and I finished the 5 km run at the 2011 Blue Mountain Half Marathon.  The weather for running was much better than I had expected.  After experiencing the wind and the rain on Saturday, and looking at the weather forecast for this morning, I thought for sure we would be running in the rain.  Thanks to Sam's mom, dad and brother and to Brayden's dad for cheering the boys across the finish line.  We enjoyed the run while working on our breathing and pacing throughout.  More important in my mind, is the sense of accomplishment - finishing what we started!  As run registrants, the boys received a take away bag with many goods and a running shirt they proudly wore.  They realized that they had too many layers on after the start!  One of our goals for the Boys on the Move, was to enter the 5 km run at this year.  I am pleased to say that we met this goal with the members of our team who could come and run.  There are many other commitments including hockey and family time on the weekend for our boys.  Thanks again to everyone who cheered us on!  It was a great run and a great morning.
