The latest with Al the Pal...

My events are all out of order, but some things have to be blogged even if they happened a few weeks ago! Alec had the opportunity to play machine pitch baseball this year! With next to no experience, he was a little timid, but had a firecracker of a coach if you will, who whooped that whole team into winning shape...first place in the championship winning shape might I add! I was very proud of how far he came, in the beginning he shied away from the ball, by the end he was hammering them out into the field! You did a mom and dad proud, and congrats on being the Champions!


With all the craziness of us training for Wasatch Back, Alec apparently wanted to know when he could do his first race! So I signed us up for the North Salt Lake fun run 5k. I don't think he quite knew what he was asking for...30 seconds in he said "wow, I'm tired...do we have to run the whole time...I have a side ache" at this point I'm thinking "this is going to be a long one" but Big Al dug deep and found that competitor within and did awesome. In true kid fashion, it was an all out sprint or walk...no in between, which actually was killing me, but we had a great time together, and made for an awesome memory! Thanks Al the Pal...


After we finished the race he wasn't so sure he wanted to do that again,then his name was called in a prize raffle and he got a 2 liter of Shasta Tiki Punch...his tune quickly turned to "when can we sign up again mom"...priceless!
