Out-running Bears!

Ty is quite athletic- -she didn't get that from me. My athletic talents starts and ends by lifting a fork. Yea, I run occasionally, especially when being chased by something or someone mean-- like bears (the opportunity has not presented itself, but I want to be prepared if it does), but as Lew likes to say,"I run mostly so I can eat more." Well, Ty has decided that she is going to run to get in better shape for soccer (which starts next week)-- she runs on the farmers roads that separate the fields behind our house. I can see her from our windows the entire time. She runs about 1.13 miles each night-- she just came in and said she timed herself at 8.59 minutes (that's a sub -8 minute mile). Wow--I think she could almost outrun that hypothetical bear! I hope she never has to.
