Day 10, June 19th 2011

Daddy forgot to bring the camera so he did not take any pictures. We ran in the morning this time. That way we would not get rained on at night. We saw one of the teachers from my school. I like to run in the morning better than at the night. I think that it is cooler in the mornings. We can not run in the morning tomorrow because daddy will be at work. I like to run with my dad. I am almost as fast has he is. After we were done we came home to shower then we went to pick up our computer and eat at P.F. Changs for fathers day.

Before

After

My running belt came in the mail today! We almost did not get to run today because it was storming and windy. But we went downtown to run at night. Daddy bought me sports beans at REI and I put them in my running belt. I ate 4 while we were running. I like my new running belt but the bottle is hard to open to get my drink. When we were done we didn't see a train this time. When we got in the car to go home, I told daddy when we're done taking out nap, then we can go to the pool.

day 8 June 17th 2011

Pictures will come tomorrow when we get the good computer back!

We saw a train downtown again! I fell for the first time tonight and I was bleeding. But I am ok I only cried a little. I have a purple bandaid. Daddy said we said we saw a drunk guy. When we came home, we went to the pool. Mommy says if I can learn to swim really good I can do the kid triathlon next year. I did not get my toe shoes. They did not have my size, but I did get pair of keen sandals. They are not for running though.

Before

After

We ran at the train tracks again! That's my favorite place! There were lots of cars. We had to wait a lot to cross the road. It's dangerous to cross the road when there are cars because you could get hit!

Jonas Broke a 10 minute mile!! How cool is that for a 5 year old!

Daddy was bored with running at the train tracks, so he took me to another trail. We ran 3 times around a trail that had a park in the middle! We saw 2 dogs, they were brown and white. We also saw 1 squirrel. I ran so fast. After running I climbed the rock wall at the park. Then I went on the zip line and I climbed up the slide. We drank water and came home to eat pasta with chicken.
