My 8yo son Jackson has recently decided that he would like to run in the Kids Marathon at Canberra in April. So whilst Dad toils the 42.195kms at 7.00am, he will start the 2.195km Kids Marathon at 8.00am. Yesterday was his first training run. We ran 1.2kms around the block at a steady pace. He jogged it all the way and didn't stop once. We arrived home a little red faced (me too - gawd it was hot), and he was very proud of himself. Needless to say that Dad was very proud of him as well. We'll do the same thing next week and very slowly ramp up the distance as we get closer to April.
