The Army Ten Miler


The Army Ten Miler

Bright and Early!!!!

Daddy is getting ready for the big run
(the Pentagon is in the background)


Paratroopers


Cool as a cucumber right before the race!


Traveling with soldiers through time


Caelan's favorite stop...the fire engine!!!!


Driving "the fire man truck"


10-3-09 The kids and I woke up at the crack of dawn, which is about 5:30am, to go support their daddy. Shawn was in the Army 10 Miler. After Shawn left us to find the starting line, the kids and I adventured out on the Pentagon grounds, where the race began, to find some fun of our own. There were many, many vender booths set up, music, food and Caelan's favorite... the fireman and his truck. He climbed all over that truck & flipped every switch. We didn't stick around for the finish of the race as the troops were getting restless.
Shawn ran the 10 Miler in 1:32:55. What an accomplishment! After he finished he felt great and said he thought he could tackle a marathon.
I have no doubt he could run it strong!
I am so proud!
