1.5 Miles

Yes, that is how far Owen ran this afternoon....1.5 miles!

Ryan took a few days off from work, so we were lucky enough to have him join us for our

walk today.  What a perfect day!  It was beautiful out.  And with Ryan there, I got to join in

the fun and actually run along with Owen instead of just chasing him with the stroller. 

He practiced his jumping (he actually gets both feet off of the ground now),

 

 We held hands crossing the street, and then we had a little mommy and Owen time.

He ran and ran and ran to the point where I was wondering if he was ever going to tire out.

And then it happened...

 He stopped running and actually sat down on a set of stairs to rest. 

 We thought maybe he had enough running, so we asked if he wanted to get in the stroller

and ride.  He firmly said "no", and got right back up and started running again.

This process happened again....

 

 ...and again...

Until finally he gave in.  Truth be told, I think he just wanted a snack. 

But after 1.5 miles of running, who wouldn't need a little pick me up.

1.5 miles for a 2 year old?  I'm actually really impressed.  Nice work Owen.

Some day, some sports team is going to be very lucky to have a guy like you on their team.
