I have a new running buddy. I think...

 Here she is - my new running buddy!  She is also my 12 year old daughter.  For her 13th birthday , she wants to run a 1/2 marathon.  Wow!  She did a 12k with me last fall and really enjoyed it.

Now it's time to get serious.  She hasn't been very consistent the past several months and wimps out quite easily, but that's to be expected with a pre-teen.  I've told her she can continue, as long as she gets her runs in during the week.  For the past couple of afternoons, we have gone out for a short run.  She is doing great and I hope she will continue.  It won't be long before she is outrunning me!

This pic is of her enjoying her post run supper - pasta, of course!
