Finally a lovely cool morning and I can get in a decent run. so looking forward to it, Mojo back again. So up I get at 7 am, BUT so does Alice, my hyper 4 year old Grand daughter on a sleep over. If your running I'm coming she says , but first we have to pack a snack pack ( I might need extra energy Jude she says ) in her bag goes her idea of a snack pack, 4 chocolate buttons, 1/2 cucumber, 6 grapes, 6 broad beans a breakfast bar and a bottle of water . So now she wants to know where we are running but she has a good idea, why don't we run to the park, then I can go on the rides , well why not Alice as good a place as any. And she also wants to know if she will get shouted at for not wearing pink, " I didnt bring my pink top " ( shes remembering race for life 2 weeks ago ) assured her it would be fine and off we go, and do you know what, the little dear ran all the way, we covered 3.5 k and even stopped and picked blackberries. So yes needed a good run and today I got the best ever
running with Alice: Finally a lovely cool... - Couch to 5K
running with Alice

Sounds perfect , how lovely running with your granddaughter what could be better
it was absolutely lovely, she even offered to watch for me if I needed a wee in the woods !!
Awwwh bless her
How lovely GJ. I love Alice's snack pack, especially the broad beans- a very underrated energy food 
all shelled ready to eat mind you !
Quite right too. She wouldn't want to eat the pods 
How lovely GJ , your little Alice sounds a little treasure ! Fab run too, Well done to both of you xxx
she is a little treasure, love her to bits
OH NO!! Granny Judes! --- Have you never heard what WC Fields once said " Never work with animals or children"
Those cuddly and cute little kids and animals are a big trap - they can be most destructive to the morale of people like us in this running game. I know!! -- I was passed by a 6 year old last Saturday at parkrun , not just "passed" but utterly destroyed!! - AND I could not hear that child even breathing . I don't think she was!!! I am convinced she ran the entire 5K at that pace without taking a breath!!!! It is most discouraging!!
Lol! Same thing happened to me Bazza - my kids were at the finish line and when I crossed over my 6 year old said "Daddy, all the little kids finished before you and then went running off for breakfast - did they run the same course as you?"... Hmmmm...
dont know when to keep quiet do they aussie lol
oh tell me ! Alice grabs my hand to show me how to jog fast, you need to jog fast Jude she says , yeah right Alice !
A day to treasure - no doubt about that! Her snack pack was excellent too!
Happy running!
she talked all the way, I now know I can run and chat !
That sounds like a great run and well done Alice on running that distance. A star in the making
it was a lovely run, shes a little star
Those are the days that she'll remember when she's all grown up
I do hope so, I am trying hard to leave memories
What a perfect way to end the weekend. And a memory to treasure for ever... "Running with Granny J"... great stuff... GJ putting the "fun" into run every day!
we all need to smile aussie
Aw bless. Broad beans! LOL
yep broad beans ( and we often have brussel spout kebabs !!!
Aww GJ - Alice sounds so sweet! It's lovely you can share your run together.
love the way she chose to run to the park !!
Never tried sprout kebabs! Mind you the way things are going there'll be no sprouts as the pigeons have breached my defences. Doh!
she says you need to eat healthy and she loves sprouts, so we did her kebabs on the grill
That sounds lovely
it was, shes such a little chatter box ( Im not a chatter Jude, it's just words !! ) a joy to be around
Oh spoonie your still around, makes me happy, was going to check out later to see if your ok xx
It sounds like a fun run. Alice sounds delightful and an athlete in the making. Kids that age are so cute and you never need to guess what they are thinking
and you never need to wonder why she's quiet, she never is, its just words, she says, not chatterbox !
Oh this sounds lovely GJ! That snack pack sounds awesome too!! Well done to you both
youd love Alice Bizzybee, everyone does , so precious
