Awesome 3000

Aaron ran in the Awesome 3000 this morning. While the defending champion didn't repeat his stellar placing of last year, he had fun and ran hard through the finish line. Last year they had at least three different heats; this year they made everyone run in one huge heat, which caused a pile-up that never really dissipated. So the kids who were at the front of the line basically finished first. The race ended comically (at least for me), when Aaron plowed over a kid who was unwisely loitering right on top of the finish line. The best part was that Aaron didn't have an asthma attack like the last time he raced.

Edward is gearing up for his debut next year. Last Wednesday night I needed to do some work in the clerk's office at church, so Edward I decided to go together (he woke up at about 6:00 p.m. from a nap, so he wasn't quite ready for bed). I had pulled out the jogger and was about to put him in it when he blasted out of the garage in direction of the church. I promptly followed him and, much to my surprise, he ran nearly non-stop for half-a-mile to the church--I had to walk at a reasonably fast pace to keep pace with him. He's a smart kid, too, because he chose to ride in the jogger instead of trying to climb the steep hill to our house.
