Personal Trainer

With two kiddos, Saturday has become just about the only day I can get in a long run.  This past Saturday I took Carter along in the jogger for some extra one-on-one time with him.  On our way home just as we approached the street a few up from ours, I was pretty worn out and I thought to myself, I'm so glad this run is over!  I slowed down to walk up the driveway and immediately my personal trainer (aka Carter) said, "Mommy- no home.  Around the pond!"  I tried to negotiate a shorter loop, but Carter would have none of it.  So around the pond we went.  Fortunately, he gave me constant encouragement through the rest of the run.  His chants of "super speed mommy...super speed!" kept me moving!
