Get Fit With Your Kids – Week 2
Proper Running Shoes Are Important
I am happy to say that we successfully finished Week 2 of Get Fit With Your Kids or Learn To Run 10K.
For those of you who missed Week 1……Learn To Run 10K is 13-week training that is organized by my son Sam’s school and my children and I are taking part in it.
You can read about the details from my previous post Get Fit With Your Kids – Week 1.
I have to admit the Session 1 of week 2 was little harder for me….maybe it was the lack of sleep or because I was coming down with a cold.
My legs were hurting and I had to use all the willpower and concentration to get through it……, but I DID IT!….and it felt fantastic.
In the past this would be the time I would give up….not this time…..I made commitment to the school…..and especially my little boy.
Speaking of my boys….I know it’s getting hard especially for the younger one and running outside in the snow it’s not the most pleasant experience…., but they both keep going and I couldn’t be prouder.
So, today we start our Week 3 of Learn To Run 10K….and again I am sharing with you our Week 2 sessions in case you or someone you know would like to start their own training sessions and follow along.

My kid would be more willing to participate in the exercise knowing many are coming along. Aside from your kids, this is a great healthy activity for the parents as well. I am impressed by the way each running activity is well planned and timed.
