One Upped.

Know what's awesome?
After my run, yesterday, Reese woke up from a nap (yep. She's in 1st grade and naps on the weekend. My kids are really cool.) and asked me to take her for a run.
We headed to the lake trail, and not knowing how quickly she would burn out, I had us start out really slowly.

I kept waiting for her to ask to stop.
That girl has iron will and some crazy fantastic determination.
She made it to 1 mile without stopping before she said, "Ok, my legs are starting to get a little bit tired, now."
She had a sip of water, and picked up the pace until she was in a full sprint and I had her stop when we reached the car.

Reese ran a total of 1.3 miles yesterday! I'm so impressed! I mean...the girl is SIX (for a few more days, anyway). We walked for a while to cool down, stretched, and headed home with beaming smiles.

She surprises me.
Her goals are to run 1.5 miles next time, and run a "big race" (5K) in the spring.
I am totally confident in her ability to do it.
