1.5 miles

When I was pregnant with Micah I was convinced he would be a runner someday. With my other pregnancies I stopped running immediately, but with Micah I continued to run until it felt REALLY weird. I thought that perhaps this would make him my running buddy for life!! And tonight is the beginning of that life. We went to a local park for Phil to run, the boys to bike and Micah and I to walk. With the motivation of lemonade at the end, Micah quickly picked up his pace to a run, and never looked back. The track is about 1/3 mile around. He did one lap, then another and then a third without much stopping. I was walking, so I just walked back and forth and after the third lap offered him a drink. He'd just run a mile by himself!! I thought he would be done and ready to go to the park, but again with lemonade dangling in front of him he proceeded to run two more laps. As I watched him I was amazed to see him even pick up the speed every so often - yep, doing intervals. What a stud! Good job Micah. He's convinced that my next race if I hold onto his hand he can help me win the race with his swift speed. Ahh to have the ego of a little boy!! Someday Micah, someday!
