5 peaks cypress sport course with Chandler !!!

                                          Chandler Kicking my butt at the 5 peaks Cypress sport course !

I couldnt be more proud then to have a son that wakes up early in the pouring rain to run a trail race with his mom .!!!!
The day started early 7 am we were up and driving  to cypress to pick up our race package and perpare chandler on what the course would be like .
Chandler was so excited he was running up and down the parking lot doing  warm up drills  with lucy and I . Even though it was cold and raining we were having a blast together

9 :00 the race is ready to start 
All I was  thinking about was  how heck am I going to keep up to this kid . I dont run fast ! I run long and steady

READY SET GO !!!

He takes off like crazy I am trying to catch him but he is way up front I see him weaving in out of everyone and passing ...He is now out of sight and I am having a asma attack trying to keep up .
Chandler was first for sure way a head of everyone , sprinting up hills ....but then I caught him . He had  a massive side ache and couldn't keep the speed up  anymore . He was falling behind and was very upset . He knew how far a head he was   from everyone in his age group and seeing them pass him was heart breaking . 
We ran the rest of the race together and when we came near the finish line  he grabbed my hand and told me to run across with him ...my heart melted ! 
What Chandler doesn't realize is the minute he decided to sign up for this race he had already won !
The hardest part of a race is  making it the start line , so many people will say they can do something   but only very few will !
