Track star in the making...

Last Saturday, I was going out for a run and Kyle said he wanted to go with me. We did a loop around our neighborhood that is 1/2 mile and I thought he'd want to go in after that. He decided he'd try to keep going. I told him i was going to go far and he said he was ok so we pressed on. I kept giving him options to turn down different streets to walk home but he wanted to go where I went. After a while, he did decide to turn and head home and I finished my run. When I got home, we got in the car and clocked where he went. He ran 1.9 miles! I was so proud of him. He wasn't complaining or lagging behind, he really wanted to keep up with me. I was very impressed and we decided we are going to try to see if he can train to do a 5K with me this Spring.

The next day he must have told me at least 5 times that his thighs were hurting him. I told him that was great! That meant his muscles were growing. He liked that. :-)
