A Family Affair

I ran my first mile and a half with my teenage son this morning.  Wow, with his long legs, he can really move beautifully and effortlessly.  I felt like a short little troll next to him (for the short period of time that I was next to him -- he quickly out-distanced me), but at the same time was extremely proud of how far he's progressed with his running.

My whole body ached and I was tempted to quit when my son did, but I plugged through the pain and was proud to finish my planned mileage.
