Micah Running!!

I signed Micah up for the Fox Valley Kids Marathon the other day, and he's already so excited about it! The goal is to have the kids run 25 miles over the course of the summer, and then complete the last 1.2 miles in an organized race the day before the Fox Valley Marathon in September. Micah's already jumped in to the running schedule, begging to run each morning, and completed 4 miles so far. His first miles was a 13:20 on Saturday, and then he ran 2 miles back to back on Monday at a 10:32 and 10:36 pace. His fourth mile on Thursday was a 10:46, and I think it's safe to say this kid loves running. We are able to talk about distances ran and how much more to go through $$ format, making $1 = 1 mile and then splitting it up by quarters, tenths, and hundredths. My one friend mentioned how we were combining my two passions of running and math, and I laughed thinking how that's true. I am enjoying these mile jaunts with my boy and so excited to see the joy in his gait. Can't wait to run the rest and see how it goes over the course of the summer! Below is a picture of him finishing out mile 3 with Christian. Intensity right there, I tell ya! Go, Micah, go!!!
