Just Run!

A few weeks ago Emma started a program called Just Run! It is geared to introduce kids to the sport of running. She meets with her running coach each week. Each week Coach Amy teaches them fun ways to incorporate running into their everyday lives. Emma loves to come and run with Coach Amy!

Another great thing about the program is that it logs the miles the kids run each week. They can log onto a website and see how far their miles have taken them across the country! If she runs with Jeff or me she gets double miles on her chart. So far she hasn't wanted to do that, but now that she knows about the chart, she is eager to run more!

She almost always has to get some sort of cheer in during her runs too!

Returning from a run around the field, she takes a moment to look back to see how far she traveled.

Since is is almost Easter, all of the running drills and relays made for some eggs-elent adventures. Here Emma must carry the egg on a spoon down to the cone, turn around and return to her team.

Allison has fun at Just Run too. After the clinic she a Anna played on a "slide" in the grass. Kids can be so inventive with their play! Who would've thought a grate would make such a great slide!?
