One mile warm up with my daughter Mary.  She wants to do the two-mile race for London's Run at the end of the month.  I set the Garmin to alert me at half mile intervals, but I must've hit the wrong button when we began because it didn't start.  So I ran to where I believed was a half mile away and then started the Garmin.  We ran for a quarter mile and she got a side ache and had to start walking.  We walked for a bit and then she started going again.  As soon as Garmin alerted me that we had gone half a mile, she stopped.  But we were only about 100 feet from our house.  The last half mile including the walking took us exactly 6 minutes.  Then I went and ran a mile alone next to the Queen Creek Wash, turned around and came back.  When I got home my 5 year old was waiting to go running.  I told her we could go to the end of the street and come back.  That ended up being two tenths of a mile; perfect for her.  Below are the stats for my two mile run:

Time: 17:21 (avg. pace 8:41)

Splits: 8:35, 8:47

Finish time: 11 am

Time since last run: 11.5 hours

Temp: 64

Weight: 212.00

Way to get the kids involved young! Isn't that fun that they WANT to run???

Yeah. Katelynn has been bugging me all day to run with her more. We've already gone out twice.

That's so cute that your kids want to run with you! Gives you a perfect excuse to slow down :)
