5K Here We Come; Day Two

Today was day two of Aiden and my 5K training. Wow, talk about juggling act. When you make a promise to your child, you WILL make it happen. I had such a busy day today at work but the thought of not doing what I promised Aiden I'd do, motivated me, so we ran. . .in the dark. Yes, it was dark and we ran but I'm so glad we did.

Aiden is very excited about this. He has his mind set on running the "Costa Rica Run for the Children" on April 7th. I haven't seen him so excited about anything in awhile and I love it! He ran and he ran and he ran. . .however, my sweet Aiden did have trouble focusing on running. That sweet boy, focus is not something that I would use to describe him. He kept getting distracted by the curb on the street. He found himself wanting to jump on and off it. All I can say is. . .I love him!

We ran one mile today. Not a 5K or a marathon but an awesome beginning. Aiden has decided that he needs new pair of running shoes. I suppose that will make him an official runner.
