Running a 5K with My Child

My son isn't very athletic and doesn't like physical activities. 
I wanted to show him that you can still enjoy something even if you're not goot at it. 
Around that time, I found out there was a 5K course in a local running event. 
I told him they give you a medal if you finish within an hour. 
That convinced him to sign up with me. 
He was nervous at first, but once he saw the festive atmophere and other kids his age, he quickly got excited.
He alternated between walking and running, and then sprinted at the very end to cross the finish line. 
He finished the course in 44 minutes. 
With a medal around his neck, he looked like he was on top of the world. 
I praised him for his endurance, and now he says he wants to start collecting medals. 
I plan to keep running with him, staying healthy together and turning it into a special family hobby.
