Now that I’ve taken up running as a lifestyle, I feel it’s my duty to encourage as many people as I can to do the same. I’ve encouraged a couple of people into full time runners but I now my biggest fans are joining my team. My boyz and I started training for the Disneyland 5K (the day before the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon) this week and we couldn’t be having more fun!!!

I’ve read different sites that frown on excessive training for kids so we’re taking it easy. We’re starting out training a couple of times a week with slight increases in time and distance. This week we plan on doing a little over a mile and we’ll build gradually for six weeks. I’ll see how our training goes and I’ll post our training regime if it proves successful.

I’ve already promised both of them that they can post on how they’re doing in their training and I will let them do the review of the 5K after we run. Why should adults get to be the only ones promoting running? Keep an eye out in a couple of weeks to check out how they’re doing.
