Super Star

Olivia became an exercise maniac today. It started with soccer; then moved into the kids' yoga DVD and when she was done with that she said "Mommy, we need to go for a run". She's been trying to go for a run with me for a while now so I said okay. I took the double stroller for Marcus to sit in and the twins started running. Emma took several breaks by sitting in the stroller. Olivia ran to the 1/2 mile point with no problems at all. The only time she stopped was to look back and make sure we were coming. I even had to jog a little to keep up with her. I made her turn around at the 1/2 mile point even though she was determined to do my run which is 2.5 miles total. She obeyed me and turned back though. She seriously ran the entire way back too. She ran a total of 1 mile! I was amazed! She had a little red face and I gave her lots of water afterwards; but WOW! I bet she will sleep well tonight! I think we found our little runner! The best part was she wanted to do my 30-day shred workout after that! I made her stop though and told her there is such a thing as too much exercise. Oh My!
