My New Running Coach

I went for a run Sunday afternoon with Ellie, and let me assure you, she is my newest running coach! It was the first time she'd been in her running stroller, and while she might look a little unsure of what's shakin' here, I assure you she loved it!



Sorry the quality is pretty bad; I took this on my phone and on the move! So, what makes this precious little girl my newest running coach? Because while running, she'd laugh and jabber away. But when her Aunt B slowed to a walk, Ellie was pushing her little head forward, moving her feet and grunting, "Uhh, uhh," doing whatever she could to get me to run again!

And if you know anything at all about this Aunt B, it's that I do whatever I can to make Ellie Grace smile. . . .

Probably why I'm still tired and sore two days later!

What a great encouragement to spur you on! She's such a cutie, I love that she's running with you and whoever is pushing while you were taking pics.

That's good stuff right there.

Adorable! It's an even better work out pushing a stroller too!

Sorry I didn't get Titus 2 up today. We've been running around town going from one Dr. apt to the next (eye, dentist, etc.) I feel like I was running with Ellie! ;)

Blessings to you sweet friend!
