So so far this week I have got 2 runs in, each being a little over 2 miles. My 8yr old son has ran with me both time.
I let him use his brothers phone to use the app to check his running time. He did 1.96miles in 21:32.
I did 2.19miles in 21:05.
I think that is an awesome time for him! If my oldest son starts running with us we will do 2 miles again next week if not we will move up to 3 miles.
I am hoping my oldest son joins us in the runs!
After a couple weeks to a month I want to see where my son(s) are with running and then hopefully sign the 3 of us up for a 5k!
When we run he is behind me the whole way. For some reason it is hard to slow to his pace. I was thinking that I will switch out running days and have him run and I ride my bike so I can be along side him and I can do more encourging him that way!
Quoting MamaJessx3:
My oldest is doing his first 5k with me next weekend. When he runs with me we end up with about a 10:30 overall pace. He's 7 years old. I've been super impressed with him! It's fun having our kids get into exercising and fitness like we are :)
