Rachel and Luke ran their first and possibly their last 5K just before Christmas. With some encouraging from me and a little $ incentive, they both participated in the running club at school. I thought it would be great exercise and keep them in shape for basketball. They both really enjoyed the running club. I was a little surprised. The running club at school gets the kids ready for The Jingle Bell Jog 5K race. This is a picture of the group of kids from Greathouse Elementary.
Happy and excited kids before the race. Bonus the weather was perfect!!
Rachel's buddies.
The final stretch.
And the finish line.
The 5K was a little more than they expected. I don't know if I could talk them into running in one again. I thought they did great and was very proud of them for doing the running club and the race. I know it did get them ready for basketball. Luke made me stop by Target on the wasy home from the race to get some Legos with the money he earned from me. That boy just can't hold on to money long.
