Before I arrived in Bloomington for Spring Break 2010; there had been a bunch of talk between me and Emily about bike riding.  Often times she asks me over phone conversations what I have been doing which draws a common response; “exercising and riding my bike”.    

Emily had placed bike riding on ‘Our To Do List’.  However, I was unable to get my bike back to Indiana for use but that didn’t stop the effort.  Emily rode her bike and I walked along/behind… 

Out of nowhere and without prompting she began riding ahead of me, stopping, dismounting bike, and running back to meet up with me.  We would then walk together back to her bike.

I added up Emily’s exercise regime of the day from which these photos were taken.  Bike riding, 5 miles Jogging/running, 1 mile.

I’m very proud of my girl’s effort and genuine interest in ‘exercising and riding my bike’.
