August 20, 2016: I really want to pass my love (mostly love) of running to my kiddos. Sometime in January I saw a groupon pop up for a super hero 5k run. I thought this would be a perfect run to try with Kinnick. I asked him if he wanted to and he was up for the challenge! We did lots of training runs leading up to race day. He was not always happy about training but he stuck with it. We slowly built up our distance to 3 miles. On race day he got discouraged, there were tears, we pushed through and he FINISHED the race. I believe his time was around 35 minutes. He told me it would be awhile before he wanted to try again--I was ok with that. Marc, Sadie, Macey, and Carver all came to cheer us on. After the race we enjoyed a celebratory breakfast at IHOP. I know this kid can do anything he puts his mind to... I'm excited to watch him grow!
