Alea and I will be running our first race together next weekend. It is called the Heroes for Kids 5k. Haley decided not to do it with me. I was fine with this because I wanted to see what how I could do on my own with only my own brain to encourage me. As I was registering I decided to ask Alea if she wanted to do the 5k with me or if she wanted to do the 1 mile fun run. She said she wanted to do the fun run with me. I told her I was doing the 5k so she could either do the 1 mile on her own or do the 5k with me. She said she wanted to do the 5k with me. So sweet. Two weeks after the Heroes for Kids race is the Girls on the Run 5k that we will be running together. I told Alea that she and I needed to practice running together. We are going to run together this weekend but tonight when we got home we had some time so we decided to go ahead and go out together. Alea is training for the GOTR 5k at her school and I am training for it at mine. We ran/walked 2 miles together. I ran more than Alea but even an 8 year old can keep up with my running by simply walking. She is so cute because she wanted to take her MP3 player and ear buds with her on our run so she could be a real runner. She was so relaxed the entire time just listening to her Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez music. I on the other hand listen to Vietnam war era music while I run. Almost all the music I listen to on a daily basis was recorded before I was born. My favorite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival.
