58F, mostly cloudy, windy (~10 mph), pretty pink sunrise, waning gibbous moon. Objective: easy. 5.74 miles alone, then 2.09 w/ Young Miss Sno! (20 min strength work)
I am very pleased and excited to have had some running with my beautiful daughter! She has two speeds: fast and walk. We did a fun loop through the neighborhood, choosing landmarks and running to each one before taking another little walk break. She is much faster than I am, she just needs to develop some aerobic strength. If she continues to run this week (3x), she will get her own running blog, something she really wants. She is already planning her blog name: SnoFlake. :)
How did this come about? Yesterday we did a bunch of shopping for her fall wardrobe, (home)school supplies and shoes. She is growing so fast, we had to replace nearly everything -- including sneakers. And I suppose that is where the inspiration came from... next thing I knew we were lacing them up and going out for a run together. We both noticed that the early evening run (on not quite digested dinner food) felt a little uncomfortable, so I told her that if she was up and ready when I returned from my run this morning, she could come out with me and do her miles. And so it begins. Someone who loves running as much as I do cannot help but be totally overjoyed to share it with someone I love as much as I do her. I don't want to push it, because as we all know, you have to have the internal motivation or it will never get anywhere. But I am already hearing, "this is fun!" :D x 1,000
