Just ran the annual Mother's Day 5k with my kids. Actually my oldest didn't run this year bc she didn't feel well. My 10 yo ran with her friends which really meant that she walked and talked most of the time. I ran with my 7yo son. It was his first official 5k. He did AMAZING. He's a little beast! I had to hold him back at times bc I knew he wouldn't make it if he went too hard. He/we finished at 37:11 which means we walked a little in the 2nd mile. He lost it after about a mile and a half. At that point he believed me that he needed to pace himself. We walked and I helped him gather himself. Then we ran to the end and sprinted to the finish. It was amazing seeing his little face when he crossed the finish line. He wants to do it again already! I may have created a monster! Next time he will pace himself better and run in a straight line instead of weaving back and forth. I think he actually ran at least 6k because he took the winding path!
I'm so happy for him that he's found this piece of himself at such a young age. I didn't know I'm an athlete until I was over 40yo. You have a body, you are an athlete. It's up to you to tap in. He saw that today for the first time. Powerful stuff to witness. I'm grateful.

Once I reach 3 miles non-stop I'm going to Philadelphia and take a picture with the Rocky statue. It would be nice if PJ is playing there, but whatever.

Thanks! I'm trying to add just a little more time every time I run. 10 or 15 seconds at a time. From where I'm at now to a 5K seems daunting, but I'll keep at it!
Good luck to you too! That staircase looks like a beast of a hike!

There is something wonderful about the songs on "Ten." I ran to the Philly 2005 concert bootleg this morning. Once and Evenflow are incredible live, and as running songs. Yay, PJ!

It's insane! I Just found an article written on it.. I'm trying to get the link to copy so I Can share it. The other day s running team from Denmark was out to 'run' it( The Incline).
Ran 1.75 miles non-stop. Only 1.25 miles until I take myself to Philadelphia and take a picture with Rocky. Yay!

Don't know if I will be able to do it as I can only run for a couple of minutes at a time, but I'm going to try my best to get there.
Still keeping at my goal to club that cra y staircase up the mountain.
Just go a little further each time! Good luck Marky!
Good luck to you too! That staircase looks like a beast of a hike!
