At the beginning of the summer my friend started up a running club for whoever wanted to come run the HS track (or walk the stairs) with their kids every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9 - 9:30. Miles were recorded and the kids earned "toe tokens" for every certain number of miles ran (for my kids - 8 and under - they could earn one token every 2 miles). Unfortunately, with all the friends and family we had in town the first of the summer, we didn't start going until July 15th. It was such a blast so when we got back into town on July 29th we went again and aside from the week we were at my parents, we've been every Tues/Thurs since! Today was our last morning of running club. What a fun group of kids and moms!
Madi - far right
Elle - second row with her hair down (which is a huge deal - one I'll need to document in another post)
Calvin - front row, with sweet Marli snuggling him
And this is just a portion of the moms and kids that came to running club!
My kids were totally motivated and earned 3 tokens each - they'd average a mile each time we went!

I need to learn more! Now that Trav is leaving at 6 am I just can't get myself out of bed earlier than that to run without kids - and Nolan is too small for the jogging stroller. How did you do it? The kids play in the center and you run circles around them? (Literally!) This is genius!
