Exercising With The Kids

Today, during my run, I saw a lady jogging with her son, a boy about ten or eleven years of age. They were having a nice conversation as I passed by.

It touched my heart to watch the two of them them enjoying time together in this healthful and interactive way. It's rare to see parents exercising with their children. Think about that for a minute. It's almost tragic.

Time with our children is precious. In a few short years, this boy will be hanging out with friends and following his own interests. Exercising with his mother will no longer seem very appealing. But for now, he still enjoys it. I'm so happy that his mother capitalized on this short-lived opportunity.

A boy and his mom going for a jog together - what a beautiful sight! More families should do this. Think of the common health problems that could be averted - depression, substance abuse, obesity, juvenile diabetes. Plus, you get to spend some quality time with the kids out in the fresh air. What could be more important?
