Jared has been participating in the after school program "Running with the Stars" for the past several weeks. He really works hard at this program and has done extremely well.
His first accomplishment was winning the 4th grade Turkey Trot this past November. His prize, a 23 lb turkey that he brought home and we had for Thanksgiving dinner! I believe that's the first time he's contributed to putting food on the table.
He's been practicing a couple times a week after school. Basically, this means he runs around the school field non-stop for one hour. He's a little feisty and competitive with wanting to come in first place.
This past weekend was the finale to the program. The event is a 5k run out in Ashburn, VA. Of course the program calls for a buddy runner and Daddy was up for the challenge. Timing of this event wasn't so good, as I just rode the Casa River Century in West Virginia the day before. But what the heck, aren't we all still young?

Very proud of Jared. I just couldn't keep up with him. He shot off from the starting line and never bothered looking back for his "Running Buddy".
