Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

At Lake Placid they had the Ford challenge course, or whatever its called, too. Very fun to watch. Its so good to hear of kids being active!
After my mum did her first IM, she went to visit my cousins at school. That day they had a Terry Fox Run, and she ran with the kids. My cousin kept saying "that's her, that's her" to all his friends. He was super proud of his aunt. And this summer they came to see us in one of our Olympic distance tris. The two boys came out and met me on the run course, they ran along beside me for the last kilometer, then turned around, ran back out and did the same with my mum!

congratulations Running mom's son!
It is just fantastic when kids enjoy keeping fit - I work in a junior school - and during pe lessons some of the kids actually panic and think they are ill, because they feel warm and can feel their hearts beating in their chests
I just thought I'd share with you this pic of my daughter taken a few years ago when she became under 6 champ of the midlands mountain bike series. I've never won a sporting event in my life but like you said, I must have set a good example somewhere along the way!
..and yes, she did ride in those wellies!

OMG! That is SOOO cute! I'm going to show it to my son! He loves mtn biking and I keep trying to get him to join the junior team out here. But I think he's afraid he won't be good enough... But he would do FINE! He's just like his mum I suppose. Full of self doubt.... Oh why did I have to pass on THAT trait to him... sigh...
