And the Fastest Runner Is....

James. That's right folks, you read it here first. The fastest runner in the house is now James.

James ran the OV half on Sunday, March 25th. His official time was 1 hour, 56 minutes, and 19 seconds. This beats my previous year's finishing time of 1 hour, 56 minutes, and 59 seconds. The man is a full 40 seconds faster than I am.

Zack and I were at the end of the course to cheer James on as he passed by. Maybe we were the extra motivation that James needed to press on for that last .1 mile, and speed up to beat my time.
James for sure wins the award for the most handsome finisher. Gotta love that man!!!

He is My Son

Most of the time, I hear how much James and Zack look alike. Not only do they look alike, but Zack also has a rather laid back personality, just like his daddy. I'm ok with the fact that Zack seems to be a clone of James. After being pregnant for 9 months and that whole childbirth thing, I know that Zack is related to me, even if he looks and acts 100% like his father.

Today, however, I realized two ways in which it's very clear that he's my son.

1. He leaves lights on when he leaves the room. I do this all the time, and it makes James crazy.

2. He can't stand it when cabinets are left open in the kitchen. James often leaves cabinets open, which drives me crazy. Today, a cabinet was open, and Zack yelled door over and over and over again until I shut it.

Yup, he's my boy.

Run! Fast!!

That's what Zack tells me to do when he's in the jogging stroller. Just about every time I take a walk break (jogging strollers are heavy and I just need a break some times) he pipes up and tells me I need to run and I need to run fast!!

Someday he will make a great personal trainer. Or maybe he already is my personal trainer...

I love that kid.
