So I found out on Friday about the annual marathon that crosses the bridge between Asia and Europe. I have wanted to do the short run for this every year, but I always seem to forget to find out when it is. With two days' notice I convinced my reticent, but willing hubbie to throw all caution to the wind and do it as a family. Now, the English title for this was an 8K Fun Run. The local language said "People's Walk". And after an hour crawling 100 meters to the starting line, we decided to re-dub it the "People's Crawl!" We got wise, jumped the rail, and made some quick progress on the first kilometer. A slow second across the bridge stopping for scenic photographs as this is the one day each year you can walk across. And a quick descent on the other side. Armed with little more than fruit leather, apples, goldfish crackers, and water bottles, our kids did an awesome job. Moo and Lu took turns walking and dancing a stretch. Rick did a most excellent job pushing them the majority of the walk in the stroller. What a great dad! And a super husband to say yes to his wife's crazy request for adventure.
