Proud mummy day today, although every day is proud mummy day for me today was even more so.
We attended our first Junior park run together.
Although Suzie cant register as an official runner so no time or bar code scanned we were told we could go along and run as much or little as we liked.
Watching her get so excited about running with mummy and wearing her cookie monsters really put a smile on my face.
We arrived at the Stavely Junior park run and was instantly made to feel welcome. I had already volunteered Stu to help out as a Marshall as they were short of helpers and he was only going to be standing around any way so might as well be of use.
He was handed a bright bib, whistle and neck chain with official Marshall on it before beginning given his position at the far end of the field across the sludge to his delight.
We gathered for a small warm up pre run before heading to the start line for the count down and we were off. The full route was 4 laps around the field. I could feel Suzie getting excited as we set off and had warn her to go slow we had a long way to go. We ran around and it wasn’t long before we were passing stu for the first time. Shortly after their was a particular boggy area we plotted our way round for least slippage before continuing past the finish tunnel onto our second lap.
Suzie high fived her daddy as we passed him for the second time and crossed the lap marker for the second time as we started to just get past Stu again for the third time Suzie told me she was very tired bless her and at this point I realised 3 laps would be our goal this week so as we came to the lap marker again she ran through the tunnel to the finish!
So proud of her for completing 3 fab laps of her first Junior park run and secretly I think Stu enjoyed helping out and wearing his gear.
