Ran the first 4 miles with my son. He set the pace, around 8:15 for the 4 miles. After he quit, I ran one more at 7:09. We went in the dark, breathing clean air and enjoying 40 degree temperatures. I felt like I was stealing, the conditions were so nice. It was great to have my son along. He runs pretty well, he just needs to keep doing it. I told my kids I'd give them a hundred bucks if they ran a hundred miles in 2 months. I figured that might be enough to get them hooked, then I'd have running buddies to choose from. |
