My new jogging buddies

This morning my two girls came with me jogging. They wanted to see if they could jog a 5K. Somebody put it in there mind that maybe they should run the Bonanza day race with me. I have mixed feelings about that. I don't want to discourage them, but I also am afraid that I'll feel obligated to keep with them if they slow down. I really want to just run this race like I normally would run. I plan to start running the race every year and I want to see my improvement. Daniel says if I explain to them that I won't be by their side the whole time they'll be fine. There will be plenty of others on the route. I hope he's right. Although I may not have to worry. They did both finish ahead of me today, but then I also walked when ever they felt like they needed to walk. I would have preferred to just try and run it all again today, but it was their first day. I think next time I will run the entire thing and see how they do. I'll tell them they can walk when they need to, but that I am just going to do it like I normally would and we'll see how that goes for them. I'm proud of them though, for wanting to try and for doing such a great job this morning.
