Seattle Kids Marathon
This past weekend Abbott ran in the Seattle Kid's Marathon with a team of about 30 from his school. Approximately 4,000 kids participated. This race was 1.2 miles the day of the race. The other 25 miles, to total the 26.2 miles in a traditional marathon, were accumulated the month or so before the race. Alexi and I ran the Seattle Marathon together in 1999; it warmed our heart to see Abbott do this race! Abbott is the boy in the yellow sweatshirt in the pictures below.

Yahoo... Abbott!! Way to go!!
Great photos of the race. I love the last pictures- this would be a look I would be giving just thinking about running a race. LOL...
Thanks Lecia for sharing!! xoxo
Congrats to Abbott on a job well done! We have a similar program here, and I think it's a great way to get kids involved in running.
To answer your question on my blog - we live in mid-MO, and my parents live just North of KC, MO. The snow hit there Sat PM - Sun AM, we drove through it Sun afternoon on the way home, and got a much lighter version here that night.
WOW!! Good for him. I ran a marathon a couple of years ago and I so wish we could have accumulated the mileage :)
Way to go Abbott! That's just totally awesome.
As promised - I'm commenting! We love doing the kids marathon - although carrying a 3 year old the distance was a little challenging. Fun to see you guys...love your blog....
