Expert  1951    |  Subject: Funny things tired kids say...My 10 year old son has a kid's triathlon next Sunday so we went for a "training" ride this morning. At the end of the ride he he gasps, "I don't.. (dramatic pant... pant) think... (pant) I have the strength... (pant) to go "down" this hill."

Expert 1951 | Subject: RE: Funny things tired kids say... Nahh.. lol .. I didn't say that. I smiled.. and said something encouraging like, "You did great!" "You're almost done.".. some kinda niceness encouragement, But, I was thinking the cupcake thoughts... He's 10 .. when I was his age I had to climb mount Everest on my bike EVERY day in order to get to school. :-) Kids take A LOT of patience. |

Member 17 Pa | Subject: RE: Funny things tired kids say... Our daughter (who refer to as #3 of 6) has started training with me for a kids tri next year at Sandusky with me. After we got done with our run last night she looks at me and says I couldn't help but laugh. |

Regular 549 | Subject: RE: Funny things tired kids say... Yeah, I remember when my son was 12 or 13. I went for a run (5k) and he asked if he could go along. He has never run before (or since). Anyway, after 2 miles, I could see I was holding him back and I said, "just go ahead, I will see you at home". Well, he finished about 45 seconds ahead of me and then said "Whats the big deal about running? Its not that hard". |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Funny things tired kids say... I am hosting an exchange student from North Vietnam this year who wanted to run with me. I had about 2 hours on my plan the other day and she thought she would run 1 hour with me. She came downstairs in a cotton tee shirt, regular shorts and a pair of Chucks. I suggested she try a shorter time so whe wouldn't get hurt in those shoes.....within 1/2 mile she was saying how unbelievably long the run was and how hard it was. She gallo-walked the remainder of 1 mile and I ran another 9 solo. Just makes me pause thinking we do this so naturally now and in some parts of the world it is not even a thought. |
