Brandon had so much fun in his 1st 5k and I am so proud of him. Last year at 3 he ran the Marathon Mile at Legoland and went 13:09 he is such a little runner..... He always tells me that he wants to do an Ironman with his dad so maybe 2020 we will be crossing the finish line at an Ironman event together....

I love the name of this race.  Its awesome that your son shares your interests and is leaning towards active lifestyle.  I hope to be reading a race report in 2020 where you complete an ironman with your son.

He runs with me at least 2 times a week and some nights I come home from work and he is on my treadmill for 20-30 minutes. He has been going to my races since he was 1 and loves it never missed a race.......he is my biggest fan......... I just hope that in 2020 he will wait around for me at the finish line.....we also hope that IMAZ is still around because he told me that he wants that to be his 1st since it was his daddy's 1st.....
