But she thought we needed to have a 5k ahead of us so that we would be motivated to run...otherwise it's easy to say no to a run and yes to the couch, the tv and the bonbons.
The Beat the Heat is run in the evening, I guess in an effort to "beat the heat". My husband decided on Friday night that he and the kids were going to run in the 1 mile Family Fun run right before the 5k race. Jennifer's kids decided they wanted to do it too.
And I am so glad they all did it. I was a little worried that my kids wouldn't be able to run a mile without stopping because they had never tried it before. But I guess swim practice four or five times a week since the middle of May helped them.

The kids had a great time. And now, I think they may be hooked on running or at least running Family Fun runs with their friends. Sarah asked if she could go running with me some time to get ready for the next one!
