5K

We did a 5K this past Sunday with the kids. It was a non-competitive fun walk to benefit REACT, an organization formed following the Tsunami in 2003 to support young people throughout Indonesia. Natalie and I walked and Thijs used his scooter with Colin chasing after him. Thijs had so much fun. He actually came in first, received a medal and thought he was so cool. It was not until a few hours later that he realized his leg was starting to hurt a bit from the workout. Just his right leg, the one he uses to push off on his scooter. He was in so much pain that night. The next morning he could not walk, could not get out of bed and obviously could not go to school. He rested all day and was fine the next day, but it was kind of funny to hear him tell everybody that he did a 5K and his leg was sore. You have to start them young!
