Just Kristi and I this morning at 6 am. Jenny sent me an e-mail with excuses, but I think we will need to run by the golf course sprinklers some time soon anyway. If I remember Mike's rule correctly, it doesn't matter if you have an excuse or not.
So, since I had Kristi to myself and she is too new to complain (we still have her believing that she is LUCKY to run with us - hah!) we did speed work. We warmed up by running out BC and then to the track where we did 1 lap at fast pace (under 2 minutes) and 1/2 lap walk repeated 5 times. It was painful, but went a lot faster with someone sharing the pain with me. Thank you Kristi!
We got a lot of laughs out of the cheerleader who was NOT happy that she had to "run" laps. At the end she was being made to finish the required number of laps. I commented to her fellow cheerleader that was the acting task master that she was pulling my 9 year old's trick of walking as slow as possible. In a 9 year old's mind this is a way of punishing YOU. I told the task master that she she tell her friend that she tell her I said she is acting like my 9 year old. She found that pretty funny. Sadly, this teaches me that I will still be dealing with these tactics when my 9 year old is 16.
