Kimmie-that is so awesome!!! I am so happy for you! My oldest son is 10 now, he started training and doing 5K's with me when he was 7, and when he was 8 he did a 5 mile with me. I let him pace us, and reeled him back in when he was getting a little out of control. He was so stoked when we finished, he was ready to go again! I did a 10 miler a few months later, and he was begging me to do it, but I put my foot down, 5 was the max that I wanted him to do. After that I got pregnant, and had a baby. We got a TM 2 months ago, and he will do 2-3 miles a few times a week on the TM. This summer we are going to do a few more 5K's again, and probably the same 5 miler. He wants to go out for track this year too. (EDITED TO ADD: before anyone judges me, i have never and will never push him. He WANTS to do this, and he asks to do it. I have never asked him/forced him. I also have talked to his DR, and his DR agrees at an easy pace-which is all i can do-he is behind it 100%) Its the most amazing thing watching them take to sometihng you love so much. I am so happy for you, and feel your excitement!!
