I signed the kids up for Boise’s Capitol Classic again. It’s a one-mile run down Capitol Boulevard for kids ages 6-14. My girls never hesitate when I ask if they want to participate any given year, largely because they can count on at least one friend for company along the path and, more importantly, they anticipate the after-race party in downtown’s Capitol Park with food, games, potential prizes and food. Wait, did I mention that already?
They came walking flying down the street with their friends by their side and smiles on their faces. They barely broke a sweat. I’m not sure the race is the “boost” to fitness it’s intended to be, but whatever. It’s a great way to kick off the summer.
