1K

Bennett has taken up running this summer.  He runs with his daddy outside, he runs with his mommy downstairs, he runs up and down the house, outside, to the mailbox...  It's quite apparent that his favorite mode of transportation is to run.  So, what better way to get him motivated - but with a kids 1K?? 

We asked Max (our behind the house neighbor) if he would like to run with Bennett.  It seemed like a good idea, and Andy and I loved it because Max and Bennett were able to train together.  (Run around the block a time or two, usually sufficed.)  The big day came, and we headed to the church. (Yes, I said, "church".)

 Bennett was so awesome, but a 1K is pretty far for little legs.  He got a piggy back ride, for a few feet, but found his stride (which is an exact replica of his daddy) near the end.  As Bennett neared the finish, he raised his arms in triumph, and threw out rocker hands.  The crowd cheered him on, and he was pretty sure he won.  Of course, we told him he did.
