For the past 8 weeks or so, child number one has been training for a 'marathon.' It's a great concept. The kids run a total of 26.2 miles (or more) over the course of the training period. She has been faithful about her running, and the grand finale was Friday night.
The last 1.2 miles were completed downtown with a good crowd, in our minor league baseball stadium, with plenty of fanfare. It was really fun and exciting for the kids. It was quite an accomplishment for these kiddos, some who were as young as 5. Even our resident 4-year-old ran a decent amount at the training sessions. It became a family affair.
The above picture was taken after the completion of the race (compliments of Grandpa).
OK, I gotta be totally honest. She did work hard, but she also had several good buddies participating, so that was definitely part of the draw. But, no matter. They all did great.
