Proud

My kids have done classes like gymnastics and well...that's about it.  So today was the first time that I experienced watching my child perform in a competition.  Mya ran the fun run for the Balloonfest this morning.  She ran a mile at a 9:25 pace, which I think is amazing for her first ever race.  And she has never run a mile before.  When we got home she asked me why it is called a fun run when it is a hard run.  She was a bit surprised at how hard it is to run distance.  She was shocked to experience the feeling of being out of breath.  I think she will have a new appreciation for her mommy and daddy when we run races.
