Junior Pace Setters for My Long Run!!!

Today was the final long run of my training program for the Calgary marathon. I always say, running seems to be a solo sport, but really, it is next to IMPOSSIBLE without a support crew.  This run was no exception and to help keep me going, the girls all agreed to ride their bikes on portions of the 32 kilometer run.

Kimbers took the first leg: km 1 - 10. This is the second time she has ridden her bike that far and today she did not dissapoint.  Topics discussed as we traveled:
  - Why do we stay on the right side of the path??
  - Why do trail tressles smell so good??
  - How do you get shoe laces unwrapped from bike peddles??
  - Do monsters get sick??
  - Why do I ride my bike into the bushes when I look back or into the woods??

Nicole was waiting at the house when we got back from the first leg. I refilled my water bottle and topped up my supply of dates, and we hit the trail.  Once again, the conversation did not disapoint:
  - Where is the 10 kilometer long hill Kimbers said she road up??
  - Do spiders get headaches??
  - Why do trail trestles smell so bad??
  - Why do I have to stay on the right side of the trail??
  - Why is Kimberly so strong??

I forgot to take a selfie of Autumn, so we did a Facebook video when we completed the third leg, from kilometer 20 to 32.  Im must admit, I was in a bit of a selfish state.  My muscles started to fatigue and there were sensations of chafing in less than desireable places.....but the conversations continued:
  - How do I change gears on my bike again??
  - Why do I have to stay on the right side of a trail, its not like we a driving in a car??
  - How do you play Frisbee Golf??
  - Why do all the bugs come out at night??

I must admit, most of these questions still have not been answered...and some never WILL be answered.  Usually, in the lull when I was breathing rather than talking, another question would be asked!! But at least I will have LOTS to ponder while I run my 42 km race.....why do I have such amazing girls??
