Run for the Zoo

Alex ran his first race on Sunday, doing the Zebra Zip at the Run for the Zoo. When we told him about it the night before he was not very interested since we wouldn't be running with him, but on race day he really got into it. He loved having a bib with a number just like Mommy. He lined up very patiently and calmly. (It was quite amusing to watch him being so stoic as he waited.) He followed the instructions for the run perfectly and had lots of fun. His only complaint was that it was too short!

Here's a selection of pictures and a short video of the beginning of the race.

Running strong!

He made the turn and is heading toward the finish line.

So very proud of his medal.
