Aimee, Jill and I were just in a holiday 5k fun run today. Aimee has accompanied me on long walks before and one time was able to jog about two miles.
This morning she ran about a mile and walked pretty much the rest of it. Jill took off and continued to run just after a mile. She then reappeared at the two-mile marker after backtracking a bit.
She told me to take off and go run the rest of the course. But I told her that I wanted to stay with Aimee and that I wanted to see her cross the finish line. As a family we walked and ran the last mile and ran through the finish line together.
Aimee finished at 53:45 for her first 5k…it was a great moment.

This is a great story, and even better for those of us with historical knowledge of your past training and therefore who know the real reason you stopped running (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) and walked to the finish line with the girls. Don’t worry; your secret is safe with me.
