This weekend I was bemoaning to Fiona at Coombe Mill about my lack of outdoor time with the children now we are all back at school/uni! Then I realised that I could combine my need for taking part in the One Big Fat Run and getting them out in the fresh air. Normally going out for a run means grabbing my kit and a drink and hitting the tarmac. However, heading out with my children adds complexity to the proceedings:
- help daughter extract bike from shed
- pump up bike tyres
- lace up son's running shoes
- try (and fail) to persuade children to take water bottles
- inform children as to the route we are going
- head off for the run trailing after the children:
From a distance observe daughter's biking skills and note to tell her to improve road positioning at junctions:
