"Only a Mile"
Posted by littlemamalopez on 6/17/2007 on littlemamalopez's blog

Wow do my legs hurt from yesterday! But I still got up and got down to the beach. Austin came with me. He's my 12 year old son who likes to run "a mile only" with me. Which is perfect, because I need a reason to get out there for "only one mile" for a little recovery. He runs "a mile" with me on Wednesday mornings and Sunday mornings. On Wednesday he even gets up at 5:00 in the morning to join me! That amazes me. Today we ran for 2 minutes and walked for :30. I know that doesn't sound impressive, but our pace was about 9:20. For all the effort Austin gives to get out there with me, he is the biggest complainer ever. I really had to push him to stick with our plan for the day. But once we got to the end, I could tell he was so proud of himself.

He always thanks me for taking him, but I'm the one that is so happy that one of my boys wants to get up and run with me. Thanks Austin. Here's to 12 year olds wanting to spend time with their parents!

eya manana :)
