Today was parent conference day, so the kids were both off school. The oldest daughter wants to run the Disney Family 5K in 2009, so she’s been eager to get a training run in. The whole family headed off to the park. We started our first mile off slowly (9:30 pace). About halfway through, she lost contact with me and I kept looking back. She was further and further behind every time I looked. When I passed the 1 mile mark, I knew I needed to speed up to hit my goal pace, so I turned around and told her to find her mom and sister who were walking around the park.
I sped up and completed my last two miles at a pretty quick pace.
