First "trail run" with my 3 year old. The kid is toough as nails, shuffles the ups like a pro, cruises the flats and bombs the downs.  We go for hikes most evenings that usually involve about half running, but tonight he put the hammer down on me and we ran a good mile and half with a couple hundred vert in there.  Granted there was some stopping to climb boulders and throw dirt and rocks, but over all he nailed it!

Ha! That's awesome!! My 3 year old loves to hike or "climb the hill" as he calls it. Its fun to see him run the trails, but it usually turns into me carrying him on my shoulders with him yelling "Run faster Dad! Faster!" Heckuva workout though!

What a great outing. Certainly a highlight of the week.

That's the coolest thing I've ever heard! My dad waiting until I was about 10 to get me out on the trails. Where would I be if I had gotten started at 3?

Thanks all! Was a fun outing...I find myself saying "watch your steps" about once every 30 seconds, 'cause the kid takes diggers like a pro too. Tonight he took a three foot diving slide on luckily loose dirt, couple of weeks ago he cut his palm open and was on injured reserve for a few days....guess I need to make him were some of those Meltzer gloves.
