Aiden is still my inspiration, in many ways, but he is still inspiring me to get in shape and train for this 5K Run for Costa Rica in April. We have been running three to four times a week and I can finally feel my body thinking, "I can do this."
Originally, I was under the impression that Aiden also needed to get in shape, after all, he doesn't run much, does he? I have since discovered that by the nature of things his six year old body is already in much better shape than my forty one year old body. When were running, I'll be winded and Aiden is still singing, jumping around, just all over the place. I don't think I've seen him get winded once. Maybe this training thing is really for me.
One hurdle Aiden did have to over come was, new shoes. One day when we were running, he kept lagging behind. When I was pushing him to catch up he said he couldn't because his feet hurt. Why it never dawned on me that his Spiderman, blinky shoes were not good running shoes is beyond me. We've since fixed the problem and he's back to his speedy self.
We have three weeks left to prepare for this 5K. I have really enjoyed this experience with Aiden and hope that 5K's can kind of become our thing.
