Enjoying a 4 miler out at Lake Hefner yesterday afternoon, I happened to spy a Mom and her two kids out for a run. As is my norm, I smiled…nay…grinned, gave a little wave and went on my way. It was only after I finished and met back up with one of my running buddies that I found out that the kids were participating in the OKC Memorial Kid’s Marathon. After they finished their run, we chatted a bit (they were parked next to us) and I couldn’t help but notice how enthusiastic the two boys were about running this marathon. It cheered my heart!
Curious to see how long the Kid’s Marathon is, thinking that it must be a mile or so and not a real marathon, I looked up the information and was quite surprised to see that the kids run the full distance. Not all in the same day of course, but they run a mile at a time until they reach 25 miles, and then they finish the last 1.2 on the day of the actual race.
How incredibly cool is that? I don’t have kids, but if I’m granted that privilege someday, I can think of few things that are better to instill into your children than the love of doing something athletic. Not only that, but to pick a meaningful event for participation!
I love the idea of including your children in something you are passionate about, whether it’s yoga, swimming, biking or any other sport. So I encourage you, if you have kids, include them in your Sweat365 goals and activities!
Of course, be careful, use common sense and caution so that your child doesn’t suffer injury or burn-out!

Yesterday after our run, my friend and I were talking about food. (Are there better topics?) 
As running increases, so does the appetite. When you’re at work all day, it’s sometimes a challenge to find healthy snacks. I ran to the grocery store last night for a few bare necessities and realizing I had a coupon for Flat Earth Crisps, decided to try them. I bought two bags, one Apple Cinnamon Grove and one Garlic & Herb Field.
While I not sure what groves or fields are supposed to taste like, I do know that I’m fairly certain I’ve found a somewhat decent snack to add to my snack collection (which currently includes baby carrots, yogurt, Kettle Valley Fruit Snacks and Girl Scout cookies).
The 6th ingredient in one of the two flavors is pumpkin. Guess which one. Garlic & Herb Field. Yeah, that must be the field taste! These are baked, and you get a half serving of veggies in one serving of these chips…crisps (12 crisps per serving), they are bursting with flavor and have just the right amount of crunch.
As for the grove of apple cinnamon trees, my first impression was “whew, way too sweet”. Possibly that’s because chips, er, crisps just aren’t supposed to be sweet, but, eh, too sweet nevertheless.
Although not something you can snack on 24/7 (did you notice all of those qualifiers like “fairly” and “somewhat”?) and think you’re eating super-healthy (because you’re not!), they would make a great alternative to chips, to eat once a week or so. A nice break from the usual without overloading on fat.
Besides, if you visit the Flat Earth website, you can print two coupons for a free bag of chips crisps! Free food is always good!
