A
James ran his first 30 kilometres.It was not easy for him, but he made it.Months earlier, he wasn’t in any condition to run five miles, let alone 18.6 miles, the distance of a 30 kilometres.
One day, early in the morning, my wife Lisa discovered that our older son, James, had been playing video games since he got home from school the previous day.What she found angered both of us.
We were sick of the amount of time James spent playing video games.He would often sleep until 2:00 p.m.on Saturdays because he stayed up playing games until 3:00 in the morning.
Driven to break our son’s lifestyle, we tried several different approaches, like limiting the amount of time he was allowed to play games each day, but we couldn’t find anything that worked consistently.He always seemed to go back to the game, especially when we were not there to monitor him.
It’s not that I’m against video games; I am just against playing them every waking moment at the expense of exercise.In an attempt to ensure that our kids did not become addicted to games, I came up with an idea: Game time in our house would have to be earned, just like money.Each mile run equals 30 minutes of video-game play.We put no limit on the number of miles James could run in a day, so the only limit to the amount of time he played was based on how far he decided to run.The first couple of days didn’t go very well.James got sick of the idea and refused to run at all.Eventually, James decided he would give running a shot.
It never occurred to him that running was giving him a sense of purpose.James even planned to join a marathon and hoped to become the youngest family member to complete one.It was my hope that running teaches him to invest his time in worthwhile causes, not just video games.I never want him to stop challenging himself.
