Friday evening my four-year-old son asked to run down to the park, about a 1/3 of a mile away. Both of us were barefoot, hanging out in the yard. He ran all the way, stopping only at stop signs to look both ways.

After playing for a bit on the park's playground set, we ran back. Once we got back to our street, he complained a little bit about the course asphalt, but otherwise, he was very nonchalant about the whole thing. His gait and landing were of course natural and beautiful, although his arm swing was kind of wild.

Anyway, very proud papa . . . looks like I may have a running partner before too long.
 
Cute.
