Me - 2 easy miles (plus strength training)
Sylvia - .5 miles 5:45 (plus swim lessons)
Today is the first day of Sylvia's marathon! She now has 100 days to run 25 miles, and then she will run the final 1.2 miles at the Missoula Marathon kid's race. I'm really excited, and she is too. Okay, okay, it probably has something to do with the oversized trophy I promised her if she completes the miles, but we did have a good time out there today. We put on the GPS watch and took a lap around the block. We found that route is exactly .125 miles, so every time we go around the block two times, she gets to mark off another quarter mile from her mileage chart. After three laps, she started to get tired. I told her we could walk to final lap, so she took a few steps, and then she said, "No! Our time will be too slow!". I loved it! She also decided she would like to bring in her mileage chart for show and tell in a few weeks. Can you tell I'm a proud Momma? Now, if anyone has any suggestions for something worthy of a nice trophy for Owen this July, let me know. Something along the lines of "Best Little Brother Cheer-er"...
