With huge apologies to Haruki Murakami (the author of What I Talk About When I Talk About Running)
Here's a conversation that took place this evening.
Kate: How far are you going to run mom?
Me: Six miles.
Kate: Do we have to meet you?
Me: No. I only need you to meet me if I'm running over 10 miles.
Emily: Why?
Kate: Because she needs more water.
Emily: That's not very far.
Kate: You can run 16 miles.
Me: I can even run 26 miles.
Kate: Wow! That's a long way.
Me: That's how far I ran in the marathon.
Kate: Oh, that wasn't that far.

hahaha. "that's not that far" Don't you love your kids?
Kids say the darndest things indeed. Hope you're well, Karen. Thanks for sharing the cute conversations. I miss those.
I learned about your blog from my good running buddy, Joe and his blog. I enjoy your blog because it is very low key; just like this entry.
Kelly, my kids make me laugh all the tie. I just wish they would stay this age forever. I especially am loving age 4 (Emily).
Rick, we're good. I really liked Wednesday's post.
Eric, it's good to meet you. Hope all is well.
