Turkey Trot

Peyton woke up just after 6:30 to go potty.  We were already up getting ready. Dave and Peyton were going to drop us off for the race.  We made it downtown just as the 10k runners were rushing to the corrals.  It was chaotic but luckily parking was free and available all throughout the area. We found an open restaurant for breakfast and Dave got himself and Peyton breakfast just as we headed out. We lined up, and later I heard we were in the 8-9 minute per mile pace. I reminded Brandon about race etiquette and he was armed with my business card with our phone numbers written down. He knows our numbers but in case he was under duress he may not remember. While we waited our turn for the start, I recognized a girl and then her mother.  Elise and  Shenghi. I wasn’t sure so I texted Michelle with a stalker photo to verify.  But before getting a response, while we moved through to the start line I decided to throw caution to the wind and called her name.  She acknowledge and I think she recognized me. I’d thrown out Michelle’s name to give her some context. We waved goodbye and got our race under way.  Brandon and I started out holding hands, something he still enjoys but definitely because he was scared. Though we were in a fast pace, there were many others like us in the wrong corral, walking.  We had to dodge quite a bit, and by half a mile the complaints started. I tried to cheer him up saying we had to hurry since a stroller had just past us. He then complained, “I want to be in a stroller!”so that pep talk backfired.  After a mile, I congratulated him and told him only two to go.  I didn’t want to give him math at that time of despair.  At 1.55 miles in, I told him, “You’re half way there!”  He said, “Okay. But what’s half?”  I’m not sure what he meant – if he didn’t know what the word half was or if he didn’t know his math.  Either way, not a time for me to go over math with him. I’d never run with anyone for so long before.  Usually I start together with someone and run different paces or try to stay together but get off pace somehow. But I’ve never had to deliberately keep up with someone. It helped we were holding hands.

And then later that he wasn’t hungry.  I knew that was a bad sign and he was not in a good mood. By the second mile marker, I told him a mile left. He seemed in good spirits to know that but was fading by half a mile left.  Tears started. He wiped them away with his free hand but he wasn’t happy. He kept asking to walk but I told him it’d take longer. He trudged on and then we saw the third mile marker.  There was a sign for 5k/10k split. I joked how we should go to the 10k. He wasn’t laughing and ran toward the 5k split of things.  He wanted to stop but I told him he could at the finish only 0.1 miles to go. I kept my promise and let him walk after we crossed the finish line. He gained his composure after I told him he needed to help me find Daddy. After we walked a bit, his smile returned and he said, “Yeah! That was fun!”  It’s like giving birth! You forget the pain.  Almost.  I was texting Dave to not confuse tears of joy with tears of pain.  We found Dave and Peyton who were waiting in the family area with the leftover pancakes which hit the spot. We played some kids games and then Dave wanted to head out to avoid the crowd. There were still people running even after we were done with the kids area.  I congratulated Brandon again telling him he was done and there were still others on the course!  I think he was happy with his medal and did allow a selfie post race.  Here are the pics.  Thanks to Dave and Peyton coming out. She had her cowbell but got scared to use it. She even told me, “I’m not going to show the Giants race part.  Since it’s not the Giants race. But I can’t help but wonder if it’s because she’s not a Giants fan. This is Peyton on the way up to my parents’ house.
