Laureen and I were really feeling the need to get out for a run this morning as the rest of the week had been such a disaster. We asked the girls if they wanted to go with us and surprisingly both of them agreed (we were more surprised with Brittany as she's never too excited about it -- Amelia's been getting some runs in on the treadmill). We went over to the Lone Peak track so that everybody could run their own distance at their own speed. We jogged a couple of laps together to warm up and then Amelia and I ran a faster lap. She still tends to take off way too fast and then has to stop after 200m or so. I ran a couple of 800s (3:16, 3:15) with some easy laps with the others thrown in and then ran a couple of 400s (1:25, 1:29) just for fun. Everybody seemed to have a pretty good time despite the fact that it was a little on the cold side. With the sun it felt just about right. Laureen and I didn't get in the mileage we were hoping to, but it was an even better day because we had both girls with us.

Kerry, it sounds like you and your wife are a positive influence, keep up the running spirit.

Sounds like a great run Kerry! Like you said...time with the girls trumps mileage any day.

Hope this weeks goes well for you.

I've told you before, I'm always jealous when I hear of people running with family members. I still keep the dream alive that someday it will be me. Congratulations on living the dream.

I echo Tom's wishes for a good week.
