A Six-Mile Run to Remember

Yesterday, my son's school held a little fundraiser. Kids got pledges for each quarter-mile loop they ran at a nearby park. I took an early lunch and joined Jack on his run.  He ran, pretty much non-stop, for six miles in about an hour.  That was, by far, his longest run ever.  

He was having so much fun.  "This is awesome, dad!"

I ran about 5.5 miles with him, and served as his crew, handing him water and offering encouragement, along the way.  Great day.

He raised about $300 to help support the school.

Round and round we go.
He had some sore quads this morning.  "Dad, do your legs ever hurt like this?"

Oh yeah!
