runner in training

Emma and I had an impromptu home day on Monday.  Since the weather has been so nice out, i have been running outside.  Once we had taken care of all morning chores and did sufficient relaxing, I decided to go for a run and push Emma in the stroller.  Yes, i know she is 4 1/2, but 3 miles for me is huge let alone Emma.  
Dressed in our running gear with the music ready to go, we head out for a run.  It was hard, i never ran and pushed a stroller before and Emma was so happy to feel her having the wind blowing in her face.  Once she was bored of it, she wanted to run with me.  After about 30 seconds of running we stopped, took a break and found some nice rocks....did another run, stopped again played some pooh sticks in the stream...ran again...stopped, pet the horses and ran one last time.  All said and done I ran over 3 miles, but it took us over an hour.  So my run turned into a nice afternoon workout.
After religion class last night, on our way home Emma asked me where i was going and I told
her the gym to run. She tells me she wants to run again because her arms
and legs are not as skinny as when she woke up from her nap (the other day)
meaning Tuesday when i picked her up from school...   we had this long conversation about how she had noticed when she woke up from nap, her arms and legs were 'much skinnier' than when she lay down to take her nap. I asked Emma why she thought that was and she said it was from all the running she did on our home day silly.  I mean what was i thinking????
Anyway...long story short, Emma had asked me when we could run again and see the horses since the horses were out on our run. So apparently, I now have a new running partner (and a stroller and a few carrots and apples to feed the horses) Along the way, we will have some rocks and may play pooh sticks too.
