Josh's first race

This past weekend Josh ran in his first 5k! He got 1st place in his age group (30-34) and 5th place over all. His time was 22 minutes and 54 seconds. Two ~18 year olds and one 40-year-old and a 60-year-old beat him. :) He did a great job!

The race was at the Prude Ranch which is about 5 miles from Fort Davis (~2 hours from Sanderson). We stayed the night in Alpine on Saturday and Josh ran first thing Sunday morning. The Prude Ranch is a neat place to visit. Shelby really enjoyed the "PR Funny Farm" which had donkeys, goats, calfs, and chickens.

This is how Shelby would pet the donkey's ear...as far away as she could be, but still touch him. Then she said: Soft! There were some other boys there who helped her to feed the donkey and one of the goats some grass. She had a blast!

There he is!!! As Shelby keeps saying, "Daddy ride school bus? Daddy run in the race? Good job, Daddy!"

There's Daddy's medal for 1st place in his age group.

Now we are getting ready to head to Colorado on Friday!!! Yippee!
