And we are off. Daughter is nearly a foot shorter than me and tried to keep up on first two which made her run too fast, and hurt her, so we had a chat and 3-8 I turned during the walk bit and again when she caught me up... that was much better for us.

Well done.

No need to rush. If you are going to run together, run at the pace of the slowest. Pushing too hard is very discouraging.

My problem is I can’t pace... I’ll learn it I guess. She beat me on the last run of course... good kick with about 20 seconds to go. The kid inside me nearly said “game on” and responded... the dad in me won though and I let out some cheers as I was told to go into cool down.
