Over the weekend, I picked up another couple of running partners. Ever since my first 5k, which I ran with our twelve year old, our eight and ten year old have been begging to run one with us.

Last weekend, I ran my second 5k. This came on the heels of my first 5k just 12 days prior (on Memorial Day). This time around, my race report will be relatively short, as there’s much less to report.
Man, have I been impressed by our 12 year old son this past week. All four of our kids are on the swim team at our local pool, but our oldest has been doing double duty, as he’s also training for our upcoming 5k.
Earlier in the week, he swam a total of 1900 meters in the morning, and then followed it up with a 5k run after lunch. If we could just work in some biking, we’d have a budding triathlete on our hands!
And yes… All four of our children are way more capable than I ever was.
I have a quick little fitness anecdote to share… Earlier today when I went upstairs to exercise, I discovered our eight and nine year old working out together. They were doing sit ups, pushups, etc. And best of all, they weren’t fighting.
