Marathon Kids Kick Off

We are participating in Marathon Kids this year. Mike took the kids to the Kick Off last weekend on UT campus. They got to run on the track and they both ran the entire length. They sure were pumped up and super excited when they got home.

This video was recorded with the phone. So the sound is crazy...simply turn the volume all the way down just watch the little people run. Emer is wearing the black shorts with green shirt and Annie has on the pink rain coat.



Here is the blurb copied from marathonkids.com

"Marathon Kids learn to live an active and healthy lifestyle by running or walking 26.2 miles over six months, eating healthy food daily, and even learning to grow fruits and veggies!

The program is provided free to public and private elementary schools, as well as homeschools, or independent families. Physical educators, classroom teachers, and parents can incorporate Marathon Kids into their curriculum, after school programs, and at home with their families."
