Energizer Bunny

My daughter has inherited my curse: she has insane, crazy, boundless energy. This is my problem too and the reason why I do all these crazy endurance races. Since I was a little boy, I had boundless energy, and she too appears to suffer from this malady. To wit: she's in a Fall swimming program and is back to swimming three to four days a week. Most 7 years olds would be wiped out from this effort, coupled with school, but I get home from work and this kid is just bouncing off the walls. So, I take her (and her bike) out with me on my nightly runs. I run, she bikes. I have to say, it's great fun. She rides alongside with me, pedaling away, and we chat about her day as the sun sets and with Mount Tam in the background. Great father-daughter bonding and I am certain these are the memories from her youth that neither of us will ever forget.
