Jeremiah ran in the Smokey Hill River Festival Fitness Five two mile race this morning.  At eight years old, he was the youngest and definitely the smallest in this adult race.  There were about 18 runners in the eleven and under category.

Joel ran with Jer while Sarah and I waited at the finish line.  The race volunteers were the first to notice Jeremiah turning the corner towards the finish line.  They yelled, “Look at that little guy!”  Most runners got a few polite claps. But everyone really cheered for Jer.  I was so proud of him!  His goal was to finish in under 27 minutes, he finished in 24 minutes 15 seconds! He’s going to do a 5k next.
