My daughter running a timed 40 yard dash

ISIS just turned 5. I'll have him run it in a couple weeks when he gets back for comparison. He's a damn monster of a child though so i expect he's pretty fast for his age. He's the size of an average seven year old.

Cool story, had my oldest in San Diego when he was 4 and we went for dinner down the beach. He ran the entire 2.5 miles back. I was surprised a kid that young could run that long. Seemed very unusual but who knows. Anyone else have kids who can distance run that young? Seemed like a mile - 1.5 was about all they pushed us until 8th grade or so.

Wow! Is this my father?

He was just telling the story this weekend of when he was on a 20 mile run. He was 17 in and had to come back to the house to take a dump. I begged to run with him and I went with him the last three miles, he said at 6:40 pace...or 6:20 pace...when i was six years old...this is per him. I’m sure there’s always some embellishment going on (though he is psychotic with his training logs) and I vaguely remember this (it really was 3 miles I think) but I think I was more like 8 years old. Either way...

So yeah, I guess we can.

Like you said though, my races up to 8th grade were only 1 mile and I usually won or placed 2nd around 6:00 flat.
 
My son is 7. He's as skinny as it gets and doesn't really care for sports. I always thought my kids would love sports and be good at them. I'm not saying things can't change for him, but I don't expect them to and I'm ok with that.

He's next level smart for his age. He has a crazy memory and remembers and retains so much including roads. He knows all the countries and capitals.

He does like the Jazz though.
 
My 11 year old had a baseball tournament in Idaho Falls this weekend. We froze our asses off. It didn’t hit 50 for any of his games. Most of the games were played in the low 40’s with a wind chill below that and rain/hail. But he made the trip worth it. He hit his first ever home run. I don’t know how to add a video (is it possible?)

Thats how i was as a kid. I literally ran everywhere i went. Actually hurt me socially cause most kids arent like that so i was often alone when running

To and from school, church, friends house, park, gas station, wherever. Was always a distance runner too from a very young age. Not sure i was 4 and able to run that far but its quite possible.

Pretty damn cool though

Hell yeah! And you better figure out how to post that video.

Your *** wasn't frozen in naught.

Upload it to YouTube. Then you can easily put it on here. I think if you just post the link it will attach.

My six month old runs everywhere he goes. Literally runs circles around me. Last night I ran three miles with him. Correction: I ran three miles, he probably ran nine, back and forth and back and forth. He is a puppy, though. Maybe I should have mentioned that earlier.
