X the Exerciser

Xavier has recently taken in interest in exercise. He has always done well in his organized sports but lately, he has wanted to workout with daddy and run with mama. I think the catalyst was in August when he had to run a 1/2 mile for the first time for time. He has never been a long distance runner and that combined with the fact that the race was the day after he had two teeth extracted (pain, remnants of anesthesia, etc.) made it a not so great experience for him. He is used to finishing at the top and he did not even come close to first! He told me in the car on the way home he wanted to practice running with me so that he could do better next time. Of course I was really proud of his attitude and we've been going on runs ever since :) Also, Dustin started making crossfit-ish workouts for him that he just LOVES and he does it once or twice a week. The basketball season as replaced some of these runs and workouts but he is more active than ever. Luke gets in on the fun, too!

Exhasuted! LOL

Sometimes we take Luke in the stroller!

And videos!
