Did I tell you that already? My two boys, Arkensen and Nanzaro, had also signed up for the Vancouver Sun Run. Yup, they are going to do 10K too, like their dad. Frankly, I am not sure if they will have the determination to train for it but time will tell.

I want to encourage them to run too and I think I am getting successful in coming along with me and going for it. I will only ask if they are interested to run with me … if they want to great, if not, I let it go. I think my determination is rubbing on to them.

Today, Arkensen ran with me on a 3 mile course around the neighborhood. Actually, this is the second time that he had ran with me. I remember the first time a month ago, he outran me over 2 miles. But hey, today, he had a hard time keeping up that he had to walk the last 1/4 mile.

Despite having to walk with him the last 1/4 mile, we managed to do it in 42 minutes 45 seconds. That is an improvement for me. I felt really good after the ran and could have gone a bit further. I won’t push it. At this stage I am still ahead of the training program and I still have time.

I enjoyed the run more so because it is a good bonding time with him. On the run, we talked about some stuff … like setting goals and going for it. I told him about my goal next week to go under 40 minutes (preferably 38 minutes) next week … I hope he will be running with me then.
