Just keep RUNNING, just keep running, running, running...

Andrew had signed him and me up for a "fun run" to raise money for a family who's child has leukemia. It was a 2-mile run. We have a double trailer/stroller that we figured we could put the two younger boys in, but weren't sure what to do with Cooper. He recently took off his training wheels, and is doing great! But, we weren't sure he'd keep up for the whole 2 miles. I suggested we see if he could run it. Andrew agreed, saying that if he couldn't finish, we'd just walk with him. 

Well, he RAN THE WHOLE THING WITHOUT STOPPING! We were amazed... and so were all the walkers he passed! He complained once, at the beginning, about his throat hurting, but I just grabbed his hand and told him to slow down and just keep going slow. 

At the end, he kept speeding up to make sure he beat Dad! These pictures were taken at the finish line.

The next morning, when he woke up, he said, "Dad, my legs are a little sore." I bet they were!

We were so proud of our little runner!
