This past Saturday, I ran a 5k with my 8-year-old daughter, Aspen. It was such an amazing experience that I can’t wait to do, again. I learned so much from those 31 minutes (which is flying for a tiny, 3’6″, (maybe) 4o lb little girl). She inspired me in so many ways.
The two of us right before. 8 is great! She’s 8 year’s old; I’m 8 months prego!
Aspen after having run the entire 5k (without walking or stopping) in 31 minutes! Those little legs can move!
Here are two articles I wrote that were all about this 5k … yeah, it was that awesome, that I got two whole articles out of it! Crazy!

Time to 'fit' it in 
Wow! Aspen is a star!
Thanks! We kinda’ like her. I’m excited to see how she does as she gets older. Hopefully she can keep the spark going :).
She is adorable!
Thank you!
Awesome, way to foster that strong will, it can’t be taught! What a great experience, it’s always awesome to read your posts about an active family.
Thanks! We try. She is quite the spunky one. Can’t wait until she’s a teenager … or, can I? 😉
