Three days now, 2 afternoons and 1 morning that I run with my two youngest children; Jaeden and Lian.
I told them I want to train them as runner and an elite athlete and I will personally train them.
Lian is 8 years old and Jaeden is 11 years old. This is the ideal for them to start to train-- it could also be better if they are younger but its okay.
And I'm not forcing them because they love to run. They are excited. Actually, they always remind me of our running.
Next year my little daughter will start to compete in their school.

A great idea and a great way for the family to be together in something nice.

I used to roller skate a lot but my brothers would never join in so I used to go it alone much happier.

sometimes her brother wants to come and the three of us run together, in running it is important to have a running buddy because it makes the rhythm of the body.

This kid is really an athlete, she likes running, biking and even basketball. She does basketball with her older brothers.

@ilocosboy That's such a good idea. It's a really healthy way to live and will keep them away from computer games a bit - hopefully.

They can't play yet 
they are too young to do so though once in a while I let them in my phone.

they really love to run (including his brother) and I'm happy for that because I am also into running. We can make a great team he he. I told them to train also biking and swimming so that they can go to triathlon.

Are you an athlete by profession??
It is good if children are happy and they enjoy it.

If that is what they like and love to do then go for it, it's also a good opportunity to bond with them, being their own personal trainer would also cost you almost nothing.

hmm, actually it cost me hamburger, he he, they always wanted to have hamburger after we run because they said they are hungry (with his brother), but its okay, hamburger is just few pesos while being with them is priceless.

It is very good for you to train them. In any case, this is a good way to exercise. They can at least keep healthy.

It's nice that you work with your children.
I don't run.....not even to catch a bus.
My middle child is a marathon runner....she recently ran the Berlin Marathon.

And I am hoping she will not change, she's a sports minded kid so I am not really having hard time to tell for us to run.

Cool. You will not only train but you will be able to spend some quality time with your kids, too. —which is the best part, actually.
