The rule...So cute! Looks like he had a great time!<br /><br />The rule of thumb that I've read is one mile per grade he's in - so if he's in 3rd grade, a 5K is about all that's reccommended he do.giraffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643989887305414709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-57924366297598075242011-07-11T11:19:03.846-07:002011-07-11T11:19:03.846-07:00This awesome. i love that he did it with you!

You...That is such a cute picture of the two of you. Your son is adorable!<br /><br />Both my kids have run/walked 5Ks with me in the past few years. Neither one of them paces themselves at all. Both want to run as fast as they can, then when they can't run any farther, they walk. <br /><br />On the other hand, neither one runs much other than when a coach makes them (both play other sports), and it seems like they never run farther than a mile, so I'd imagine training is key. I think it's really hard for kids to think about running slow, but I think that's where I'd start...figuring out how to get my kids to run slow.<br /><br />Either way, have fun. It's cool that he wants to run with you!Aka Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691390225208616675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-16885911751363248292011-07-06T19:28:44.539-07:002011-07-06T19:28:44.539-07:00I love this post!
