Marathon Kids!!!

Since September the girls and I have been spending an hour after school with around 52 other Kinder kids (plus all the other grades also) running a mile and learning about nutrition. The goal was to run 26.2 miles over 6 months! I volunteered to be one of the Kinder Coaches and it has truly been so much fun getting to know all the others kids and running with them.

This Saturday was the final mile! All the kids from the area met at a stadium and ran the final mile together.

It was awesome to see so many families and kids there- literally there was a couple of thousand! Right as we crossed the finish line they presented them with a metal!

I had told Taylor ahead of time that she probably won't get a medal since she is not in school yet but they let her have one. I was really excited because she has been there running every week so she deserved one also.

Then just like a real marathon we walked through all the vendors there that were giving away all kinds of freebies! The girls loaded up and were super excited and proud.
