The Future of Running...

Tommy's Mommy and Daddy have spent all summer and fall training for marathons. Daddy trained for one full marathon and Mommy trained for two 1/2 marathons. Tommy spent some time with Mommy on the track, and he also got to watch his Daddy run a 10K. He has since gained a slight interest in running. He likes to be timed while running up and down the sidewalk. He also likes to sprint around the house several times. He can keep up (and pass up) a few of the older neighborhood kids!

In January Mommy and Daddy will be running in the Disney 1/2 Marathon in WDW. Tommy's Uncle Chris and cousin Stephen will be running in it as well. As part of the pre-race festivities, Mommy found that there were some kid races as well. So, she signed Tommy and Piper up to run in their own race. Tommy will be running in a 200 yard dash, and Piper will run in a 100 yard dash. Tommy is very excited that he will be in his own race. Piper, on the other hand, has no idea that she will be forced to run for Mommy and Daddy's entertainment. Hopefully she will be a willing participant!

Tommy's Mommy will certainly have an update on Tommy's training as well as his race results!

In the meantime, we have a glimpse into the future - Tommy winning his first marathon at the world record pace:

Where has the time gone???



The last update on Tommy was getting ready for Christmas. So much time has passed, and now summer is in full swing. It was a long winter, but he survived. He was able to get outside a few times, but there were only a few really big snows:






In the spring, Tommy took ice skating lessons. He is preparing for his long hockey career! He was not to crazy about being in class, but with enough bribery (bags of M&Ms), he was able to pass Snow Plow Sam I.

Tommy is now trying Snow Plow Sam II, which seems to be going okay so far. He only lays on the ice about 1/3 of the time.

Tommy's Mommy will try to remember to update this site as the summer goes along. Tommy has a lot of activites coming up, including a trip to Sesame Place.

Oh, and Tommy's sister Piper is having fun as well this summer. Tommy is now able to play with her and pick on her. Piper is now able to beat on him... They are becoming true brother and sister!
