8 Miles?

Our neighbor is an avid runner... and this evening he was getting ready to go for a relaxing 8 mile run. That really doesn't sound all that relaxing... it sounds almost as crazy as having four kids. So... as he was preparing to physically exhaust and torture himself... sorry what I meant was... while he was preparing to go for his run, he asked if anyone would want to go. Ella seemed excited as did Cassidy also, Brody is too much like me... it already sounded like too much exercise before Bob even explained how far 8 miles would really be. Bob patiently explained distance in ways a four year old could understand... Ella got a good idea of how far he was going to run... she decided we'd still join him...but take the car instead. I guess this is one of those ways that she and I are also alike?!

Did he really say "a relaxing 8 mile run"? Those were his words? I'm with you, that sounds like torture. I will be in the car with Ella.

Hard to believe a run like that sounded appealing to me too...years ago. Can you imagine that now?!!! I could barely CRAWL a quarter of a mile without nearly collapsing into a pathetic mess!
