I decided last minute to do the DanMan Challenge this past weekend.
I had some complaining from my husband and son about my choice of the 10K, apparently they are above that.
I am not.
I would have choosen the 5K if they had one.
Since it was 3hrs away we camped at Lake Texoma Resort State Park the night before.
I really like these type of stoves, they make heating up water so much easier!
This is not a park we would usually travel to go to because it does not have much hiking but it was a beautiful place to spend an evening.
It was an under 3 mile out and back.
Such a beautiful way to spend an evening.
I really like having a little photographer with me.
We started laughing when he just kept clicking away.
Walking along a lake, holding hands at sunset.
A memory I want to cherish forever.
This was me forcing my husband to turn around and my son to take our picture because the light was so pretty.
I decided to leave the air mattress at home, I thought surely the foam pads and an extra sleeping bag would be enough.
I am wimp.
It was not enough.
Reading a bedtime story on my kindle.
The next morning we ran the 10K at the DanMan Challenge!
My oldest and husband ran together and my little man and I ran together.
His thoughts on the privilege of running with his mom, “I am not the slowest in this family so why do I have to run with you?”
Yep, I am slow.
I am pretty sure I was fast enough for his first 10K though.
He did point out that a 10K is very short.
That poor child thinks 6.2 miles is nothing.
It was a fun run on dirt roads and trails.
It is so amazing that someone opens their ranch up and invites all of these strangers to come enjoy it!
It was a great first run for my boy and I!
Since this post already has a lot in it, I will share what we did after the Challenge tomorrow!
There just happened to be a fun history event going on in the area of the Challenge!
