This is what I needed to read! My son who is 9 has been running cross country for 3 years now. He is an amazing runner and has done well since he began. I did run, but just in Jr. High. I wanted to get back into running so maybe we could run together. This summer we have run 2 5K’s together. I hope to continue to run with him for a long time, and need just the right words to make me keep moving! And this is what I needed to hear! Thank you again! Best of Luck to you and your daughter!

Like you, I get that extra boost at the end when I know my family is waiting around the corner for me near the end. It must’ve been super awesome for her to have her dad runnin with her.

And nice to see her sportin’ some Altras. I can’t run in’em, but they are my daily walk-arounds. My kids are so small that Merrell is the only reasonable fit… but they are always wearing my ‘funny shoes’ around the house.

Not so much about the running but the importance of being there for our kids and the impact it makes … even the smallest, simple things. My daughter is two and means the world to me. Pretty good running form as well :)
