I am ridiculously proud of Ian and Samantha. Yes, I am their mom and should be proud. I get that. But I am very proud of them for a specific reason too. Ian and Samantha wanted to participate in their school's running program. Ian did "Boys on the trail" and Sam did "Girls run for fun". Both programs met at school 2x during the week and got them ready to run a 5k (3.1 miles). Additionally, Ian also did another running program through a local sports organization in our county and was in training in both programs for most of the same weeks. Yowzer!
The big ending to the season was a 5k around our local high school and surrounding neighborhood. Let me tell you, it is not a flat course. Rolling hills define this 5k, it's a toughie. Ian and Sam did it! It was a cold, blustery morning, but they layered up and ran like the wind. Go Ian! Go Sam!
Ian and Sam have requested to keep going and register in March for the Spring running program.
