In August, we visited Madison, Wisconsin for a weekend to reunite with some friends. Adam and his friend Kip ran a half marathon together. The kids tried out the famous chairs on campus.
After Conor and I totally wiped out running to see the finish line--scraping up our knees and elbows and me ripping and dirtying my white t-shirt--we calmly made it in just enough time to stake out a spot to see the dads run past, cheering them on.

Then Conor and Kip Jr ran a kids race, a quarter of a mile long, crossing the same finish line their dads did. Here is Conor contemplating the start of his race...worrying about running too fast because he doesn't want to wipe out again. (Don't worry, buddy, mommy's not here holding your hand to take you down with her!)
And he's off....run Conor run!!
