RE: 2013 Part Deux
Back to Wycombe parkrun on Sat at a slightly more sedate pace, this time with miniMDs 1 and 2 in tow. Luke (10) went off ahead and finished happily, I trotted round the back of the field with Naomi (7) and another similar aged girl and her dad. Despite protestations of "I'm not a slow runner, I'm a sprinter", and what one might call an extreme run / walk strategy, she passed up the opportunity to bail out, and finished with a great sprint. There's also a monthly Sunday Parkrun Junior 2K near us, which we were also scheduled for, and Emma (nearly 5) was dead keen to do. But we didn't make that, owing to a late Saturday night, so the four of us took to the streets for an impromptu early evening 2K. Luke is now keen to get his K pace down, and I was very impressed with Emma's debut in that she took it at a very steady pace and needed hardly any walk breaks. And chatted non-stop, mostly explaining to me how important it is for children to take regular exercise.
Then with them all packed off to bed, I took to the field for 6 gentle miles as the stars came out. Nice.
