This year I'm helping out with the Mile Club at Luke's school.
Every other week I sit on the track and initial kids cards every time they do a lap.
On my off weeks, I still go up there to do a couple of laps with him.
It's our weekly date.
I do have ulterior motives, though.
I have a much better time chatting him up about school stuff when I'm on his turf--at home I get a lot of "I don't knows". At the very least I can get answers from his classmastes.
I also want to get him to start running with me. I need a built-in running partner and so far he's my best hope. A date on the track is the perfect place to lure him in!
Most of all, though, I love that his excitement about me coming to his school means that I have yet to cross the line from being a cool mom to being embarrassing.
Is it naive to think that I will forever be on the cool side?!
