After another Chiro appointment yesterday, I was given the OK for an easy run today. I waited until mid morning and Melissa & I headed out for an easy 4 miles. She just started running again since track practices began and I worked her and her teammates pretty hard on Thursday but she was feeling OK today. It was good to run with her since I needed to take it slow.
We started out with a first mile of 9:20 and my back was twinging some. After a small walk break at mile 1, mile 2 was slightly slower and my back was still a bit sore but not too bad. Melissa was getting tired for the last 2 miles and walked a bit more but she was a trooper and finished with a pace of a little over 10:15 per mile. Not too bad for 9 years old. I did pick up the pace a lot for the last 1/3 of a mile. I wanted to see how the back would feel going fast since I really want to run the 5K I am signed up for next Saturday. It did OK, not good, not bad.
The special part of the day today was the Father - Daughter Dance at the girl's school. This year I had the pleasure of taking all 3 princesses with me. They sure had fun running all around and dancing with their friends and having a few with me too. It is true, they grow up so fast!

What a cute crew you have! Glad the back seems to be behaving.
