Training Begins
The day before my upcoming marathon, they are having a “Colorado Kids Marathon Mile” race. The kids get to finish at the big fancy marathon finish line. As mentioned, I asked Sydney and after we got past the wardrobe issues, she was game. Now, we talk about the race all the time and how she is going to win and all. So last night we did our first training run. Trying to get her up to a mile. We ran to get the mail and did about 8/10ths of a mile and she ran the whole thing. She tries to run as fast as she can so most of the time is spent slowing her down. If she stops talking while she runs, she might do alright!
Here is the GPS data for her run…you knew that was coming, right?
Swim Class
Sydney is almost done with her spring swim class. Now she is doing freestyle for about 3-5 seconds before she has to look up and see what’s going on.

Hex Girls
The girls watch movies in the car all the time. The DVDs get changed out now and then but Scooby Doo has been in the player for quite a while. So…wait before that, you may want to check out this video of Scooby Doo. Watch the first 2 minutes or so.
Ok, given that…Sydney tells us that its time for a Hex Girls show (and now you know who they are…I had no clue). So we walk in and see this performance:
BAM! She nailed that, huh? How about the stirring of the cup and the words? I was blown away.

Girls Will Be Girls
Dad: Sydney, the day before my race coming up there is a race for kids. You will get your own number and run with the other kids. Its a race just like I do. Would you like to run a race and get your own number?

Concern #1: Wardrobe!
