Today I had company for my run, which made it all the more fun. My youngest is a great motivator and a fun companion to bring on my runs. When she is on her bike, we can keep about the same pace. Sometimes she's behind, sometimes she's in front, but all in all it evens out pretty well.
My little motivator - on the stretches she'll scoot past me, enticing me to go faster
The circuit we did today is pretty hilly, so when her legs got tired from cycling the hilly bits, I would give her a push. This worked out really well - she didn't have to stop and push the bike, and I got the extra training from pushing her in addition to having to go extra fast up the hill. I'm looking to gain some more muscle in my legs, so this gave me an additional workout.
My favorite place to run - pretty barren now after winter, but soon it will flourish, providing a new scenery on every run
Little signs of spring
We did a circuit of around 4 km, before I sent her back to the car to retrieve my camera. While she was gone I did another circuit of 1.5 km, providing a total distance that suits me quite well at my current level.
