We had the first race with kids from my school this weekend with Students Run Philly Style. Sixteen kids from the school and 8 faculty members ran the race. Some others came out to watch and all in all in was a great day. It was the first race any of the kids had ever run so it was pretty exciting. All 16 of the kids finished and we are gearing up for our next race in two weeks. It is a 10 mile run so it will be much more difficult but heck if they have to walk a ton there is no shame. It is exciting to be a part of this and introduce these kids to running. Here is a slideshow of pictures from the day. Br. Patrick who was taking the pictures got better with the camera towards the end so not every kid got their picture taken. I am looking forward to sharing more storied and pictures about our running adventures as we go.
Oh and Mayor Nutter was there....Sara and I got a picture with him at the very end of the day.
