Ryan decided to run a 5K this Labor Day. The race is called Miles for Smiles and helps those with cleft lip/palate. Ryan didn't train for this race. In fact the first time that he ran was the Saturday before and only made it about 2 1/2 miles.

| Lining up to start (I am not sure where Ryan is). |
The boys and I watched as Ryan took off and then we headed to the finish line to wait for him. There was a very nice lady who helped me with the kids. I had the boys in the stroller and Emily in the carrier.

| Here comes Ryan, pushing hard to the finish line. |

| Crossing the finish line. |
After the race we walked back over to the starting line where they had an assortment of things to eat and drink. They had water and bananas, but they also had ice cream, doughnuts, and beer (I am not kidding and it was all FREE).

There was a raffle after everyone had finished the race. Ryan went to see if he could win anything while I went to the car to feed Emily and clean Christopher. When Ryan came back he was wearing a medal around his neck and I thought that it was a participation medal or something. Upon closer inspection it had a three on it. Ryan had won 3rd place for his age division 22-29!
