Well, it started innocently enough. Jasons' sister Kellie and family came out last year and his brother-in-law David ran the 2007 Woodstock 5K. David challenged Jason that if they came out again this year, Jason would have to run with him. An easy thing to promise when you have a year to train. Well, Jason got some new shoes and ran a mile the week before the race. However, a 5K equals 3.1 miles. Jason actually did great, only walking a couple of times to catch his breath.
While discussing the race, Carter and Hunter got excited about it. They wanted to train and race too. So we signed them up for the Kidstock 1 mile walk/run. They "trained" up and down the driveway for weeks. Uncle David ran with them on race day. Unfortunately, Hunter got tripped right out of the start line (or knocked down on purpose according to him) and didn't race. Carter, on the other hand, did a great job, running his first mile in 9:41. He intends on running every year.
