Weekly Dinners, Kids and Running, and NEW Year Round Farmers Market

Getting the Kids Excited about Running--Who woulda thought?

Several months ago our friends, Kim and Grant, organized a motley crew of neighborhood kids and introduced them to fun and competitive running. They coined the group, the Gold River Runners.

We reluctantly joined.

My kids don't like to run, or so I thought. (This is why we should never underestimate our kids or transfer our interests onto them!)

Turns out, Kid #2 loves to run.

And while kid #1 didn't like the practices, he loved running in a race.

Each week the kids practiced by running a mile on our local trails. Their training culminated this past weekend as the group ran the Scary Scampers 1 mile fun-run, associated with the 4 Bridges 1/2 Marathon.



Like their momma, the kids have caught the running bug. Apparently it only takes one race, regardless of age.

TUESDAYS
