The .06 is for Rad :)
Today's AP 9:53 was brought to you by tween children, offering to ride their bikes alongside their mama up the canyon, where-at mile 4, a tire popped completely off the rim for no apparent reason. We then ditched the offending bike in the bushes at Nunn's park and they each took turns running .5 miles distance while the other rode the remaining bike. My daughter in teeny-thin little flip flops/alternating with barefoot, and my son in horribly crafted (worn through to the soles and flat footed) favorite pair of canvas converse. I have to say, regardless of their terrible shoes and sudden without-a-choice necessity to run, they kept up, were cheerful, and coperative. By the end they were pretty pleased with themselves. It turned out to be quite fun and made my daughter ask "how far do you run in a Cross Country race?" It turned out to be a happy accident. We went back later to get the bike we'd ditched. |
