Fun Run???

Adison loves to run.... Jeff and I aren't sure where he gets it from.....but he loves it!
So we signed Adison up for a marathon club here in Moscow
They meet twice a month and run two miles each time.
In between their group runs the kids are encouraged
to run everyday.... goal is to run 32.8 miles by April 1st
So I find myself going against everything I stand for and running
everyday to help my son meet his goal. Exercise...bluck!
The club's first meeting was a 2 mile fun run on Saturday
Oct. 30th Morning. It was freezing cold but we all went out to support him!










Here Chloie and Lauren are waiting in the warm building at
Moscow Charter School for Adison to finish.
The race grouped kids in K-3 and 4-6 grades
The K-3 kids ran a mile and started first.
Then the older kids were told to go to the starting line...
Well those kids only heard the word "Go" and instead of
waiting for the horn.... they all took off.
It was interesting watching all the coordinators
take off after them to bring them back to the starting line!














Here is Adison pre-race all geared up and ready to run.
A couple of his friends from other schools were there
participating as well. There were about 15o kids there total
and about 25 parents that ran with their kids (I wasn't one of them!)












Here is Adison as he charged to the finish line.
It took him about 15 min to complete the race mostly because
he and his friend Sam (pictured) took a wrong turn
and had to back track to finish. (He has his dad's sense of direction!)
When he was done all he could say was how fun it was and
he couldn't wait to do it again. So the lazy Butler's have began
Marathon training...The things we do for our kids!!!
