Today I woke up before the kids to go for a long run- gotta keep up with dad if we are going to run this half marathon in 4 weeks. My plan was to run 8 miles. When the kids woke up, Steve told them I was out for a long run - 8 miles. Kyle started in talking about how I was running higher than an airplane. Steve figured he was in some "other world" until Kyle made a comment about how airplanes fly at about 40,000 feet. He went on to explain to Steve that if I were running 8 miles straight UP, I would be higher than airplanes fly, because airplanes fly around 40,000 feet which is around 7 miles up in the air. Mommy was running 8 miles and that was just a little higher than 40,000 feet if she were running up into the air. Okay, so I hate to admit it, but I have no idea how many feet a mile is and would never do the math to figure it out if I did. This kid is scary...very, very scary.
