Running is not something that we are passionate about, but we have all set and achieved some of our goals. We wanted to get the kids involved in this as well. Tristen and Makayla both practiced after school in a "Fit for Bloomsday" program. Over time they both have ran/walked at least 25 miles. This was to prepare them to run the Pride Run here on base. Last week we participated in it and I am proud of their accomplishment. On race day Tristen woke up with a fever and stomach ache. He was such a champ and ran with me anyways. We even cut 5 minutes off his time last year. Makayla on the other hand is very social and chose to walk with her friend for most of the race. It was very cold that day and they weren't thrilled about running in the wind and some rain.
Hans and I have another race coming up in a few days. Bloomsday is a 12K that takes place every year here in Spokane. My goal is to run the first 5 miles until I get to the Doomsday hill. I hear it is quite large. Hans on the other hand set his sight bigger and wants to run the entire race. I'm sure that he will make it. He is much better at the mind game of running. We'll have to let you know how it goes.
