While preparing to head out for my long run late this afternoon (I had to wait for it to cool down, a bit), Tilden came inside and said, “Mama, Taylor and I want to run with you today.”

While Tilden insisted he could run the full distance with me, I convinced him that maybe we should shoot for a nice, warm-up mile instead, especially since his sister jumped on her bike and was already speeding past us. I knew I was cutting it short on daylight, but, as per usual, my kids reminded me that “taking the time” is so very important in this over-scheduled-too-fast-paced life we lead…especially when we had to slow to a walk and Tilden said, “I like it when we walk, because then we can talk to each other too.”
