Run Andrew Run!

Andrew is a runner. He loves to get up way too early in the morning and go running. I don't completely understand his obsession with running because I never liked to run (I quit gymnastics when I was 5 because they made me run around the gym one time!) Anyway, Andrew has run in quite a few races the past few months that I thought I would share with you.

This race was Andrew's first half marathon! I was so proud of him for reaching this goal. It was the first annual Rose Bowl Half Marathon. I went and saw him run past me at one point in the race and took these pictures.

Here he is after the race with his medal that he won. He finished in a time of 1.46:58 and took 7th in his division!

Andrew then ran the "Race for the Cure." It was a 5k. He ran in memory of Annette's friend Cindy Jenks and in celebration of his grandma, Pat Jarvis. He took 5th in his division with a time of 20:03.
There are two races that I don't have pictures for. The first was the "Reggae Run for Mental Health". It was a 10K and his time was 45:16 and he took 3rd in his division! The second was our ward "Beat the Bishop" 5K. Andrew was the only person in our ward that actually did beat the bishop! Way to go Andrew!

The last race that Andrew ran was actually in San Francisco. It was a 5k for cancer research. It was at a beautiful location, just next to Golden Gate Recreation Park. I took this picture with him before the race because I don't stand that close to him after he runs! :)

Here's the group of people for the start.
Great picture of that guy in the middle stretching!

And they're off!
This is Andrew pretending to finish ...
And this is him actually finishing. He finished with a time of 20:07!
This is why I don't run!

I'm so proud of him for working so hard at something that he loves!
