Two mile with daughter

I had been training for a five mile race when a couple days before it my twelve year old daughter says she wants to run the two mile as her first ever race. I immediately change my plans to run the two mile with her. She had never ran longer than one mile before we got to the race and was unsure about finishing but finish she did. She ended up running a 17:57 and said she enjoyed it and wants to start training for a 5k on July 2nd.

I was unsure about it at times but it looks like I got my running buddy.

That is Awesome!!!!

This makes me smile, my daughter is 12 and has run a few races with me.

That's so great! I know I love running with my students. There's something special about running with kids and she did fantastic!!!

Congrats to you and your daughter...at my marathon yesterday I saw several girls running...and they were running fast..I bet a 9:30 to 10:00 pace. I'm guessing one was at least 9 to 11 years in age.
