Running

One thing you may not know: Sam is a high school cross country coach. He practices with the kids every day by running anywhere from 5 to 13 miles. It's crazy! Some days he just goes out there and runs a half-marathon. Wow....wish I could do that! His runners love him! I love hearing the stories about how Sam has impacted all of their lives.
Another life that has been impacted by the coach... Michael. He is at the age now where he wants to do what Sam does. He looks up to him so much! One day after Sam's practice, Michael says "Michael run too?". He went and got his tennis shoes and socks out of his room all by himself because he was so excited!
Our street isn't very long so it's a perfect run for a little toddler. Sam and Michael ran down the street and back. Michael has so much energy! He ran the whole time. At the end of the run, the coach had Michael do his stretches. They did leg stretches, butterfly stretches, and pushups! Look at Michael's form! ha! Another sport to add to Michael's list: running!

He is so cute! I can't believe his form doing his push ups! Did he actually do one?
