She will get faster and you will get slower. Enjoy the fun while you are still faster than Sophie.

You can see the parents' pride, and the kids developing. Maybe they will be runners, maybe not, but they are having fun.<br /><br />Your kid is going to be faster than me in about two years.<br /><br />And oddly enough, I think I know why trails seem fast because I've thought about it: you're closer to the trees and stuff on trails, so it seems to whiz by. On wide open paths and and streets, I feel like I'm in a bad dream where I'm running in place. Very perceptive!mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-73599267227802812262013-12-01T17:08:01.017-08:002013-12-01T17:08:01.017-08:00This is so cool - savor it!

I remember running a race with my granddaughter at about that age and she told me, a bit before the finish, that she wanted to do a cartwheel across the finish line. And she did - I've got no idea where that came from, but I love it when kids have fun with these races. notthatlucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429091759111933245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-45858363992584232682013-12-01T16:50:24.278-08:002013-12-01T16:50:24.278-08:00I can fully appreciate what you felt running with ...I can fully appreciate what you felt running with your daughter for the first time... I ran for the first time with 8 year old daughter back in March; taking in a muddy wet trail (which she loved), having asked to try one of my 'muddy runs' that she's seen all the finishers medals and race numbers for. She loved it so we entered our village 3.5mile race together and it was with great pride I ran beside her grinning from ear to ear, encouraging her onwards when she was finding it hard, until we got to near the finish line when she sprinted off like a greyhound out of the traps!... Yesterday we completed a 10km run together... I think you know its only a matter of time before your lass will be out with you on a 'proper' run!Shoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168576054186785526noreply@blogger.com
