I Guess I Owe Ice Cream

I must say that my kids are the greatest, but I guess all moms feel that way about their kids.

Last week Todd had another Cross Country race here at the high school. I told him that if he could break 20 min for his 5k race then I would owe him an ice cream at DQ. Mike and I showed up at the race and it was windy and I just didn't know how well he would actually do. It is so awesome to see him compete, each time as he goes around I am just screaming and screaming "Keep Going, push it!"
As he was getting closer to the finish line I just kept thinking it would be so awesome if he could PR and break 20 min. We were all screaming as he came in at 19:36. I couldn't believe it. We were all so thrilled and you should have seen the look on his face. WOW!!!! I guess I owe him ice cream.
Way to go Todd!!!

That is so awesome! Good job to your son. I love ice cream and that might have been a good incentive to get me out there running too.

That's so sweet! I know, I always see him running around town as I drive by. I'm glad all his hard work is paying off!

Wow remind me never to challenge Todd in a race not that I ever run but just incase I got cocky and said I can bet you to the mailbox like I use to. Good going Todd and I am glad you owe him Ice Cream.

That is funny, because We were at that meet too to see my brother and Sam asked Todd how he did and Todd told us he had a PR. Those pictures I sent you I am pretty sure are of his PR race!!
