Grace and Running

Back in November I signed up Grace for a kid's run called the Gobble Gobble Kids Dash.  This run was only .33 miles.  She loved it.

 During the summer a local brewery teams up with a running group and hosts an event called Run, Sweat, and Beers.  You can run 1, 3 or 5 miles.  Grace wanted to try it.  So we signed up for the one mile run.  We started at the brewery and ran a half of a mile into downtown and a half of a mile back.  Above you can see an official picture they took of her and posted on facebook.

But she was not done.  She wanted to run back out and find Carol who was doing 3 miles.  So we once again ran about a half of a mile out found her and brought her in.  Picture is above.

But she was not done.  She wanted to run back out and find Amy who was also doing 3 miles.  So we once again ran about a half of a mile out found her and brought her in.

Then she wanted to play tag....

So two days later I took her to a local elementary school and let her run on the track and run as much as she wanted.  She ended up running 2.25 miles!

Today I signed her up for a July 4th run through downtown.  It is 1.5 miles but she is pretty excited about it.  I am just happy that she likes running.
