Thomas has had the goal of running the mile in under 5 minutes...
TODAY was the day
on a post-it-note was written his strategy...
Breakfast - Protein drink, blueberry pancake
Flex time - Goolosh (a peanut butter oatmeal thing) banana
After/ before warm-up - sip Odwalla
right before race - swig Odwalla
After 4:59 mile - finish Odwalla/Costco protein drink
He wanted to do everything PERFECTLY!

It became a race between two 7th graders
(even though there were 8th and 9th graders running too!)
It was a fight to the end!
They ran an INCREDIBLE race!
Thomas came in 2nd place with a 4:56!
The Orem High Coach said he had NEVER seen such a close race ran by two 7th graders!
The Alpine Days' record is a 5:06... I have a feeling things are going to change :)

It's kind of sick how hard-working and talented your kids are! They are rock-stars with rock-star parents!
I agree with above comment. Its
amazing how much endurance and how
hard working Jac and Thomas are, they set a goal and that keep going
we could all learn from them and
their parents. And Emily is amazing too how many challenges she
faces and still keeps her happy spirit. The Heaps are unhbeatible!
Love Mom and Dad
Amazing!!! I can hardly believe it. That kid has quite a future ahead of him! :) It is very inspiring to see a kid his age set a goal and work so hard to achieve it. Great job Thomas!!
