I had 7 kids between the ages of 10-14 who wanted to run this morning. It started with my daughter and/or son running with Marsha and I. Then Marsha's daughter (who is my daughter's team mate). Then Marsha's daughter's neighbor's daughter (who is also a soccer team mate). The the neighbor boys who play basketball with my son every afternoon. Today they all showed up, on time and ready to run. So off we went. Since we had enough runners, and all seem to run about the same speed as me (9-9:40's) we did ladders (run in a line, and the last runner has to sprint to the front). We ran that way for 2 miles. They all went 4 with me, and I ran one extra. It was really fun to have all those kids with me running their hearts out. We got a lot of thumbs up and smiles from passers by along the way. |
