FIT-to-GO

This weekend is the St. Louis Marathon & Family Fitness Weekend, commonly known as Go! St Louis.  My husband, Cory, and I will be participating in the half-marathon tomorrow.  It will be Cory's first big race.  Today was also Elijah's first "big race" as well.  Elijah is our energetic little 4 year old.  He participated in the Children's Fun Run.  He completed the 50 yard dash.  He was very proud and was certain he was the winner.   Cory and I are very non-competitive, so don't get the wrong idea.  ;)  We had to keep reminding him that winning does not matter.  Of course, they are all winners and the kids don't even really race...they just run.  It was precious to see the excitement it brought him.  Plant the seed of health and wellness early and lead by example.
