An absolutely crazy week and a sore knee has led to a big zero until today. At this rate I'll never be able to complete Hobblecreek or St. George. I've got to figure out how to fit running into my schedule. Tonight, after dinner, I took my 5 year old down to the parkway to ride her bike. I ran next to her so I was able to get in about 3.5 miles. This was probably one of the funnest runs I can remember. This was her first true ride- she just barely learned how to ride independently and still has difficulty starting, stopping and passing people. On our way out she wasn't very confident so our pace was rather slow, maybe a 10 minute mile or so. On the way back her confidence was much better and our pace reflected it- I would guess it was about 8 to 8:30 minute miles. She was absolutely amazing- I think I may have found my new running partner. By taking her out maybe I can "kill two birds with one stone"- I can get a run in and I can spend quality time with my little girl. She's already excited for our next run/ride and so am I.
