I'm startin' em early! I joined up with a group of friends from church to "run" a 5k to support the SDPD. Since Jonah was older, I asked if he'd like to do it and he was really excited. The event it called "Light the Night" so the 5k takes place at night in Balboa Park. It's really fun and the crowd that runs it is a good group for Jonah to start with. The event is done really well and they have a lot of fun exhibits and police stuff to look through while you wait for the actual race to begin. The boys and Lucy had fun going through police cars, SWAT vehicles, looking at guns & police gear and getting lots of freebies from other venders.
They even had a little pumpkin station where kids could paint or decorate a pumpkin with stickers. And the best part was, it was totally free! Then they held the pumpkins until they dried or you came back to pick them up. Win Win!
My sweet boy did so good! He was really excited to run even though he had no idea how far three miles actually is! So we would run for a while then walk to a specific landmark then run some more. As soon as we saw the finish line, I told Jonah to run as fast as he could and he did! He sprinted to the finish line and left me in his dust!!!
I think he's hooked! And I have a feeling we'll be running more races together, although it won't be long before he's running far ahead of me!
