Every April, more than 50,000 people run the scenic 10k Vancouver Sun Run. I’d likely be lost somewhere in the back of that crowd, but I’m sure these speedy runners are at the head of the pack.

Little two year old Athan had a great time running the Kid’s Fun Run at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex. It was his first “running” event but I bet it won’t be his last. Don’t you wish you could bottle up that energy and buy it for yourself.
