My eight year old daughter has wanted to run with me for a long time. I had us signed up for a girls only run last winter but we woke to snow so I blew it off. This year I was determined to find a winter run for us.
Saturday our small town of Edmonds had it's own 5K to benefit the local food bank. There were 205 of us running through the town on a very cold morning.
I pushed her pretty good but not beyond what I knew she was capable of. We finished in 36:11. I'm so proud of her. My first 5K I ran in 29 minutes and change, but I was 33! The girl has such potential and she loves it. I can't wait to see what she does next.
