Thing 1 Showing how tired he is after the run |
Last night was Girl Scout night, so my wife and daughter went off to their bi-weekly meeting. This was the perfect opportunity for my son to join me on that run he has been asking about. With the 50 degree temperatures (on December 15th?) could it be any more perfect?
Considering his past-problems with side cramps, I thought I would take a clue from the couch to 5k and try something different. We ran for one minute, then we walked for a minute. He did really well and the walk/run combo was perfect! We did run into one snag about halfway into the run (at the 1.5 mile marker) he suddenly realized he hadn't used the bathroom before we left. I let him know he shouldn't be hard on himself for it, as running helps to "Speed things along" in that department, and we were only couple blocks from one of my bud's houses. A quick visit (thanks Zak!) and back out we went.
