We asked the kid what prize he would like for getting "greens" all month in January. He said he wanted to run a marathon. Wait, what?!
So, we trained all month long and joined the "Super Run, Heroes vs Villains" 5K marathon. All runners got a cape and everyone who finished got a medal. We went dressed as Batman and Batgirl (of course) and he wore the cape the whole race. I wore my Solmate Socks, because life is too short to wear matching socks (their slogan).
The kid jogged right with me for the full race at a steady 5mph pace. I was so impressed with him! He wore the cape the rest of the day and was absolutely adorable. He's already picking out which 5K we will be doing next.
