The 5 K Gobbler race for Best Buddies was a lot of fun, despite weather in the mid-20’s. I had outfitted Nat head to toe, with state-of-the-art running gear from Marathon Sports, but still he ended up wearing his down jacket the whole time!

When we got to the school where the race was to start, Nat bounced out of the car, in Special O mode, and it was Joyful Pre-Registration Stompies all around the gym until the race started. His smile never quit. His entire House showed up to cheer him on, with signs and treats. His team finished all together, a decent time, but Jack (the Residential Director with Nat in the pic) has already upped the ante and is now aiming for them to have more competitive times, and so they will be doing more races this winter! Note Nat’s smile and blurry left hand — that should tell you all you need to know!
