3.7 miles with my son in the dark . .

Tanner woke up at 5:00AM yesterday and ran 3.7 miles with me. The dark, the crickets, the moon and the stray dog in the middle of Kellogg Street may be forever emblazoned in his memory! It was the coolest thing to run before most of the world woke up with my 13 year old boy. At first, he stayed close to me (obviously he still sees me as his protector!) but then he spread out. He spread out so much that I couldn't catch him the final quarter mile to our house! I am going to try some Hammer Gels (never had them before) and a new flavor of NUUN for my 14 mile run on Sunday. I watched a documentary about the guy who owns Patagonia and the other guy who used to own The North Face . .it is called "180 Degrees South." It inspired me so much that I am going to buy it. I have been listening to the soundtrack also . . . .I keep referring to Psalms 26:2 throughout this training - - "Test my heart and my mind O Lord" . . .so far he has!
