Maile runs around the island, too. Personally, I can’t stand it! And one of these days, mark my words, she’s going to cut one of the corners a little too sharply and run smack-dab into it!

Indeed, you probably will… and you will both have a good time.

My eldest got me into running when he was about 14 yrs old and was running cross-country in school. My daughter loved running almost from the moment she learned to walk. She would run in 400 meter and one mile races for kids. When she was ten we began running 3k races together. And once she joined cross-country team at school, I could no longer keep up with her past the half-way point. She’s twenty-one now and once in a while we still get together and run a couple of miles. (I was hoping she might join my brother and nephew and me in a 10 mile run in a few weeks, but I haven’t seen much training going on…) And my baby (who is now 18 yrs old) isn’t big on distance running but sometimes will go for a one mile run with me.

Running with your kids is a lot of fun. Some times runners clubs have kid races at their events.
