Running with the family

April 8, 2007 by jon.

I had the opportunity to run with my kids yesterday. I’ve started running with our church CCC this year again. They have Saturday runs that meet at the church. I was going to miss because Kala has Bible Study Saturday mornings, but then a friend called Friday night saying he was going. Well, I’ve been wanting to run with Larry for a while so I couldn’t turn it down.

Of course, yesterday was cold and windy. So I bundled up the kids and away we went. When we got there, Taksina, AKA Wonder Woman,

couldn’t make the run so she asked me to lead the beginner’s group. No problem since I had the kids and wanted to run with Larry anyway.

There were 9 of us including me and the kids. We jogged for 1 min and then walked for 1 min. We did laps around the church. After the first lap, Robyn had enough of the cold and went back in the car. She did about .7 miles. Brad ran another lap and then went in the car as well. He did almost 1.5 miles. The rest of us did one more lap and ended up with 2.15 miles.

I heard Larry say that at the beginning he thought it was no problem with the run/walk, but near the end it was pretty difficult. (Larry has run before, but it’s been years)

Brad has said he wants to run the Springfest 5K with me again this year. Robyn is planning on doing the kids 1 mile. Good goals and I’m glad to run with them.
I wanted to get in a few more miles so I ran again today with Shay. Another 3 miles. Can’t wait until I can start piling on the miles, but for now I need to take it easy.
