We signed Joseph up for The Woodlands Junior Run Club this year. It is a laid back club where the kids have to log 25 miles before the end of February when they will then run in a 1.2 mile race the day before The Woodlands marathon to complete a total of 26.2 miles to receive a marathon medal. There are three different options during the week where they can log their miles so plenty of options to acquire 25 miles before February. The first day Joseph ran 2.25 miles!! He woke up the next morning saying that his legs were sore. We have been two times since then and have kept it at a mile each time-figure we have until February so there isn't a need for him to have sore legs the day after! We would love for him to develop a love for running instead of equating it with sore legs and sweat! There are a bunch of Joseph's friends also doing the run club so it is a very social event and running is always more fun with friends! Ella normally gets out of the stroller for the last lap and runs, too!
Love this picture of him-just wish that we could see all of him!
Daddy is signed up for The Woodlands marathon and I am debating about the half so it will be fun if we all participate in the races that weekend. Love sharing our love for running with our kids!
