April 11

I took the treadmill for a spin today.  Two miles with a kid and a dog staring at me the whole time. 

The kid also had lots of questions. "Why are you running?"  "Are you tired yet?" "How much longer?" "Why are you breathing that way?" "Can I get on there with you?"

We had a long talk afterward.  A talk that included me stressing to her that in the 40 minutes a few times a week that I take to run, she has to find something to do.  We don't have a house full of toys for nothing.

It felt good.  I think enough time has finally passed and I can now begin a new and improved relationship with running.
