Chris' Dad is an avid runner (he broke his leg in the middle of a 50mile race and ran on it for another dozen miles or so before he had to stop-yeah, he's a serious runner). So, of course he's excited to see if any of his grandkids will take up his favorite hobby. My nephew Christopher has been joining him for a kids running club for a while now but Ella has been too young to join. However, a few times this summer Phil has invited all the kids out and they've had their own pseudo-running club at a local high school track. Ella LOVES it. And, this fall she'll be old enough to join the real running club-she can't wait!
Even my nephew Silas got in on the action.
Ella and Hannah just cannot get enough of each other! There are many pictures of them running holding hands!
Aunt Stacy and the kidsLooking forward to what running club will bring! Ella seems to have quite a bit of stamina and ran over a mile on the track last time and wanted to keep going after the other kids were tired out. Maybe she will be a runner! Oddly, I actually ran with this same running group when I was Ella's age! It's weird to raise your kid where you grew up but kinda cool too :-)
