Spring Training

If we have the chance on a Saturday morning we like to go to the high school and let the kids run the track. Until now we've always timed them on one lap. Well with Emma starting Jr. High next year, and thinking about doing cross country, we decided to have them run a mile.
And they're off!

Dana ran with them and paced them so they could do the whole thing.
Sadie ran one lap then played on the bleachers. Dana was mainly running with Emma and Eli who both did it. Holly kinda ran ahead of them- skipping half the time and ended up beating them. It was kinda funny.

Well, to me.

Eli wanted to run more when they were done and did a second mile!
This Saturday's supposed to be rainy but we want to go back as soon as we can and try for a 10 minute mile. Dana's hoping to have a least one running buddy in the future. He gets a glimmer in his eye whenever he thinks about it.

*update: The rain basically missed us and Dana took the 3 older kids back that Sat. They got about 10 min, 20 sec, so now they have a goal to shoot for.
