Weise's World

Back in September Christian reviewed the list of clubs that Gallardo offered and without hesitation he picked the Running Club as something he wanted to do. So twice a week they've been meeting after school to get ready for the California Internaional Marathon's MaraFUNrun. As they worked on building up their running mileage they received ribbons as they surpassed the 5K mark, the 10K mark and the half marathon. Coming into today's MaraFUNrun they were just shy of marathon mileage - and after today's run, they completed the equivlent mileage of a marathon (or more) and received a medal.
 
Christian said he really enjoyed doing it and wants to do it again next year. He did jog the whole 2.62 miles during the MaraFUNrun. Would be nice if he had the competitivness in him to RUN the mileage, but I am very happy and proud of him for just participating and completing the mileage. 

The Gallardo Running Club:
   


The start of the race was chaotic, so many people. Who knew some many kids would get up at the crack of dawn when it's 28 degees outside to run, but there were a lot of people there! If you're in the back of the starting pack (and the Gallardo group was in the back) you're screwed out of a good start. Good thing we're doing this for the fun of it  :)




Over 2 miles completed! Nearly done!
 

The race is over, good job!
 


And during the race I saw the flag and had to capture it:
