Hey all mamas out there...a new kind of training run. Chasing your kids on bikes! Yesterday it was a beautiful 80 degrees and I was just itching to go for a run outside!. Trying to figure out the best way to leave work, change clothes, run at a park, which park, then pick up the kids...oh wait...how about I pick up the kids and run with them? But how to I get a decent run in and still be with my kids, 7 and almost 5 - because I gave up my jogging stroller years ago...They can ride and I'll run behind them!
I picked up the boys and told them the plan...they loved it! It was a hit - there is a trail in our neighborhood to a playground they have never been to before...and according to my Nike+ it is 1.5 miles from the house. A perfect distance for our first adventure in biking/running. It was a beautiful day - we went under a tunnel, over a bridge, and even through some MUD! And they got to play at a playground...couldn't ask for anything more.
Grated my pace was very up and down...had to stop a few times to help push up a hill, cross a street, and get a bike back on the sidewalk...but all in all it was a great little run.

Totally hear you. My 6 y/o son FINALLY can ride his bike without training wheels as of last weekend! Yeah! I have to admit that getting those trainers off was selfishly motivated- I always feel so guilty when I have to leave him at home so I can get a good run in. And the first thought I had the moment he took off down the cul de sac without the training wheels was, "Hmmm, I bet I can take him running with me now!" Let me tell you, took him to the track to practice without the trainers- and he kicked my booty! He's a great training partner and I truly enjoy the time with him! :-)
