The Awesome Thing I Did

Freakin’ 5k, Man

Okay, so Mrs. Gryphon signed us up for the annual 4th of July 5k. You know what I said?

I said, “Um… Yeah, okay. We can, um… yeah.”

Then I got good and pumped. Yes, I haven’t completed my 5k training yet, but I can run a 5k, right? Right?

Yeah, okay.

I mean, YEAH!

So I put on my running outfit…

And I ran!

And I kept running until I finished!

Then I turned around and walked back to meet Mrs. Gryphon who was pushing Baby Boy Gryphon in the stroller and walking.

I was tired, but had fun.

The Outfit

Okay, I have to brag about my outfit. It was obnoxious, but people cheered my outfit on, and that helped me keep going. I actually made my outfit. Sewed it all up from a fabric so obnoxious that I’ve been trying to find a reason to use some for over six months. The shirt was covered in foil stars and dots. I was like a disco ball, man!

Moving Forward

Next week is more of the same. But now I know I can run a 5k, which is amazing!

 

Thanks for making this journey with me, gryphans,

Mr. Gryphon
