Christian is in Training

So we signed Dan up for the San Bernardino Sheriffs Mud Run on September 6th, it is a 5k race and this is their course description: This Course subjects you to a gauntlet of mud pits, hill climbs, mud slides, low crawls, water pits, and as many twisted obstacles as we can throw at you!! CAUTION: You will be running through the sounds of machine gun fire, explosions, and you will get very DIRTY! Well for anyone that knows Christian knows that he is totally into Army and Police. So this race has a Youth 1k so we signed him up for it and he is so excited. Since Dan and I always tell Christian that when we go running it is training for our race he thought he needed to train as well. So for the last week we have been doing different exercises with him and he has been trying to run. A 1k is about .62 of a mile so that is up and down our street twice. So Last night we decided that he needed to try and run the whole thing, he ran it in 7 minutes I couldn't believe it. He also has football tryouts on Saturday so he says he has to get ready for that as well. It has been a lot of fun and it is nice to just get outside and get exercise together. The best part is that he has been sleeping so much better!
Pictures from last night's run.



This is from a park we went to in San Diego, he said that they may have walls for him to climb so he was getting ready for it.


Ryan has loved the training as well since he gets to be outside which is his favorite thing.
This is a video of him trying to do this upper body exercise. It was really hard I couldn't believe that it was at the park!
