Longest run!

10/28/2012

0 Comments

 
Yesterday morning, Nikolas was so excited to do his longest run ever that he woke up before 5AM. Once he finally got outside, it was still dark out, and he was just in time to see his very first shooting star! Maybe it was good luck from the star, or eating the best apple cider donuts at Northbrook Orchards halfway through the run, or just Nikolas's super-endurance that caused Nikolas, after running eighteen miles, to say, "I want to go play eighteen holes of golf!". This morning, he even expressed the sentiment, "I feel like I could run a marathon today!"
