Today was a momentous occassion. I ran 3 miles at an easy pace (per my nifty Runner’s World schedule) and my six year old daughter Leah accompanied me. On her bike.
I’ve seen other moms do this - run while the kids ride bikes. And I always thought it looked like the best of many worlds. Time with the kids, getting the run in, and kids get exercise. Win, win, win. It helped that today was my short, easy run day and it was a sublime 78 degrees out. Low humidity. I’m hoping we can do this again very soon.
Tomorrow is a cross training day. I think I should go to Spin class, but really can’t afford the lunch break. So I will have to resort to weight lifting at home. I think I actually like weight lifting less than I like spin. That’s saying a lot.
Oh, one other important detail. I officially registered for the Park 2 Park 1/2 Marathon! It’s on Sat Sept 27. So far, no other takers on running it with me. But I’m okay with that. It will help me build up nice base mileage for my marathon training this winter.
