TWICE AS NICE
by Alejando and Sebastian's dad
Running is fun when parents and kids participate together and it's doubly fun when twins are involved! If you haven't experienced the joy of taking your young children to a fun run, then give it a try just as Valerio and his wife have. |
Alejandro and Sebastian
Two Kids on the Run
I live in Bogota, Colombia. Since I was young I have practiced athletics, and now I enjoy this activity as a fun game with my twin kids, Alejandro and Sebastian (4 years old).
Quite often my wife and I go to the park with them to practice athletics as a fun game.
Last Sunday, May 6, 2007 I ran a half-marathon in a small village in the Colombian Andes Cordillera called Paipa, and after the race my kids took part on a fun run of one lap on the athletics track. It motivates me to see the people run just for fun. They finished the 400 m course on 3 min 10 sec (Sebastian) and 3: min 20 sec (Alejandro).
On the pictures they appear at the race, and pose proudly wearing their first but not last medals.
