My kids ran a marathon! Not all in one day like I did, but over 2 months. They have a Kid’s Marathon that they do here. It is awesome! Between September 1st and October 29, they have to run a total of 25 miles, but only up to 5 miles per week. On the 29th of October, they bring their completed running logs to the race to get their number and t-shirt. Then they run a 1.2 mile fun run to complete the Marathon distance of 26.2 miles and each finisher gets a medal! I am so proud of my kids! Congratulations Liah, Emily and Sean on your awesome accomplishment!!!
Here they are before the race:
Cousin Avery came to cheer on her cousins and aunt Jill.

Congratulations Liah, Emily and Sean! You guys worked so hard! I am so proud of you!!!

I was wondering how it was a "marathon" when you posted pics on facebook... I assumed they didn't actually run 26.2 miles in a row- I doubt you'd let them even try! But that's a super cool program- and I'm glad your kids were able to participate!!!
Wow! I'm proud of your kids too- what an awesome accomplishment!
