Yesterday Randy ran in the Northern Exposure 10K and Travis decided to try and run the 2 mile course. They both did GREAT! Randy beat his time from last year, and was very happy with his time, especially since he didn't really train at all for this. Last year Travis had said he wanted to run with his dad next time, so this year we asked if he really wanted to run. He said yes even though he has never run more than 1 mile. He was very excited!!! He had a lot of fun and wants to do it again. Next year Jared wants to join them. Randy might have to do the 2 mile run instead of the 10K because Jared would need someone with him.
We had fun waiting for Randy and Travis. They were giving free balloons away and had some entertainment to keep us occupied. It was a fun way to spend the morning.

Way to go, Travis! Sounds like a great father & son activity.
ugh... wish i could run! I'm totally jel!
That's awesome! I've always admired runners - along with not quite understanding them! Keep it up.
Great job! That is exciting to run your first organized event Travis! What a great dad to get his kids involved in such a great activity. I learned to really love running in college---if I kept it up I'd be in a lot better shape now!
Way to go Travis. Nice job on your first big run. I'll run the 2mile with Jared next year. That should be about my speed then. :) It looks like everyone had fun.
Awesome for both of them! I'm just barely getting back into running (did it in high school) and i'm only barely getting to 2 miles right now. I wish i could do a 10K - but not anytime soon!
Hurray Travis! That is awesome. Looks like everyone had fun at the event!
