Jog-a-thoners

I want my children to enjoy running as much as I do. I've tried in a few different ways to get them interested: bought fancy running shoes, entered 5k races, offered to take them with me on short runs, asked them to take up the sport with more than a hint of desperation in my voice. But none of that seems to be working yet. Lola has her gymnastics, which she acts like she enjoys. Oliver is an amazing soccer player (defense, in case you're wondering). So they both have sports they like and keeps them active. I'll wear them down eventually.In the meantime, we have events like our school's annual jog-a-thon, in which they both ran over 2 miles worth of laps:

Also, in case you were wondering, it's almost October. Which means it's almost time to decorate for Halloween. This year is going to be my best work yet.
