AM: 6 miles before work. Ryan (my 3.5 year old) was awake when I left and was pretty sad he couldn't come with me. Asked that I take him tonight after work. Doesn't take much to twist my arm! PM: 7 miles. So....when Ryan said he wanted to run with me, he literally meant run, not just accompany me in the jogging stroller like every other time in the past. Uh... So I pushed him to the middle school track and said he could run with me there. I wish I would have timed it! He ran an entire lap and then said he wanted to run another. I timed the second one (3:20 for 400 meters) which isn't too shabby for a little fella who won't turn 4 until August! 800 meters! Crazy... He was talking throughout both laps about how he wanted to run in a race and be cheered on by; Dad and Mom, both grandparents, all of his cousins, aunts, uncles, neighborhood friends, etc. He was sure to list each and every one. Pretty funny. I put him back in the stroller and jogged a few more miles, then went home and got Miles and then he and I ran 2 more. Fun afternoon with the boys. |
