Dexter's first race!

Dex ran his first race yesterday!
No time, since the clock had been put away by the time we got back (and I forgot my watch)....we also had to cut the course a bit short since they were cleaning up the pylons....all in all, he did awesome. He had fun, stopped for a few breaks....and ran/walked the whole thing!
At the start:
A true maniac:
Looking back at his "girlfriend" Annabelle:
Racing is tiring! About 10 breaks like this were taken:
Zoomphoto pics to be posted soon!
....and the shoes were chosen on purpose. We had put his "go-go-go" shoes on him, but, he kept trying to take them off. We figured that he knew better and there was too much cushioning on them, so, we tried to find the most minimalist shoes we could.

He's not registered for anything yet, but, we may do the kid's race in Brockville....and, there's alway the annual sports weekend at the cottage.....
Last year's race.....he wasn't walking yet, so, he didn't get to participate - being only 6 months and all....
ETA: the little boy beside Delilah is my cousin's little guy - Nicholas - who is 10 months older than Dexter....

With some serious training, i'm sure he will be able to knock a few minutes off his time for next year.

ha. I'll have to get him working on that again - now that he's walking and all.
