Caleb has been training so hard this summer and fall, mostly for the purpose of doing well in the Hawk Run (just under a mile distance) at school. It's for the 3rd-5th graders. In 3rd grade he got 9th place, in 4th grade he got 5th place, and for his 5th grade and final year, he really wanted to win. I hardly see him nervous about things but he was pretty worked up the whole week before the race. Em and I were able to go and cheer for him and Jacob cheered for him with his class.
To make a long story short, he won 1st place by a landslide! His time was a speedy 6:01! At the end, all of the students were chanting his name as he crossed the finish line. I asked him later if he had heard it but he said "no". He was probably too full of adrenaline! All of the kids were such good sports and cheered each other on. It was really nice to see. He ended up getting the fastest time in the school. Way to go Caleb! We can't wait to see you crush your next goal!
Notice Mop, the puppet? He goes everywhere with us now. She even sleeps with him, lol.
