At 5:00 p.m. last night, my husband starts asking my son if he wants to go for a bike ride. Son replied, "Not really." I said, "Will you go if I go, too?" Son replies, "Yeah!"
So, we whipped up a quick meal for the kids (good ol' beans and rice). Rushed through a family dinner at the table together. Cleaned up the kitchen and we were on the trail by 6:30 p.m. Hubbie and I ran the 5.2 mile trail, son pedaled his bike, and my littlest enjoyed the stroller ride.
Even though I can't keep up with my husbands pace, I'm thrilled that I am finally able to keep up with the distance. He'd take the lead while pushing my daughter in the stroller, my son would occupy the gap between us on his bike (sometimes up by dad, others back by me, and still his own little world in between), and I brought up the 'tail' as well as I could...but I never stopped. THAT is a huge change in me over the me in the past.
I've learned that running is really mental. My mind will tell me, "This is dumb. Just walk!" but I have to ignore it and move on. My body is handling the pace just fine so shut up. It happens now and again throughout a run, but I find it's getting easier to shut down that negative talk.
My son is still asking to do a 5K for his 7th birthday. This is the week I'll sign us ALL up to run it with him.
