Charlotte has been asking to go running for a while so I promised her we would go before school on Friday (today). We woke up to a bit of fog (mixed with pollution no doubt) which was fun. Hazel was going to come but she is having a hard time finding the joy of running knowing Charlotte is faster than she is. She feels very self-conscious about this right now.
Just down the road from our apartment on base, there is a parking garage with a track, basketball court, and tennis courts on top.
The garage is in need of a little TLC. Going up the stairs Charlotte noticed the broken-up cement and said, "I bet there is a jaguar up here bitting things and tearing up the ground! Dad, I'm scared!" Funny girl.
And here is Charlotte rocking some sass before our daddy-daughter run.
So how did it go? She rocked! She jogged 7 laps, a total of 1.11 miles with only 2 rests between laps of about 30-40 seconds each. And I don't think she was actually that tired. I think she was just concerned about being sweaty.
She genuinely had a good time. I am proud of her and her willingness to do new things and work hard. She really is a great girl.
