What do football and long distance running have to do with each other?
Fitness and goals.
My son started youth tackle football last year. After the season ended we needed a way for him to stay somewhat in shape for this year's season. So ever since last November we've been doing Fit Kids with him and our daughters. Then ever since school got out last May we've taken them to the track to run and walk a mile.
All our hard work paid off.
Yesterday he started football practice. He was a little sore today but nothing like he was last year or would've been this year had we not been focused on maintaining his fitness. His goal is to make the A team of his age group this year. And, as all runners know, the desire is 90% of the solution.
