The Colour Run

I've entered the boys for their first fun run. I hope they enjoy it. The Mountain Man sneered a little at the concept of a 5k fun run until I told him it was for the boys more than him and then he settled down and decided he might enjoy it after all.

I wanted to enter them into the Spartan Kids obstacle race but we will be in Japan when it's on so we'll have to give it a miss this time. Maybe another time.

Y7 (who will be 8 in a week) is very keen to do the weet-bix tryathlon which will probably be a week before or after the Colour Run. Like an adult triathlon they swim, ride and run in one event. He's still not a great swimmer and the swim is 100m but we're going to try and help him to get there with his swimming and if he's not up to scratch I'm sure they won't let him drown *fingers crossed*. He can't brake very well on his bike either but he's been practicing by riding in circles around the cul de sac.
