Family Run

The parents’ organization for Bedford schools usually holds a run in the spring to raise money. Last year it was cancelled outright, but this year they decided to make it a virtual event. We got our tickets and the shirts we were supposed to wear, but none of us liked them so we opted out.

We chose a trail run in Concord for our route. I am so proud of these kids! They’ve often joined us when Yen and I run, but they’re usually on bikes or scooters. This was the first ime they joined us on foot.

I’m looking forward to more of these. One of my (few) regrets in life is that I didn’t get into exercise until my 30s. I’m hoping we can teach them that exercise is something we do every day, and that it can be enjoyable.

Look at me catching up in the background! I’m definitely a tortoise – I was last in the first leg but finished strong.
