kids in tow

on the path this morning - after i convinced myself to do the 10 miles on the bike - i did do 2 miles on foot as well...  there was a couple that arrived around then on bikes...  and the mom had a child in tow on the back of her bike.  and it reminded me of a younger day...
i used to ride on the back of my mom's bike with her.  i can remember being in it once - that must have been some feat for her to lug me along.  i dont remember going far.  i do recall something like daddy could ride with me on the bike further than she could.
then heidi got a kid seat for her bike - i remember it was when they lived in WLB.  i must have been a senior in high school.  i remember taking someone tiny on the bike with me.  i think it must have been ty because tony would have been REALLY little - like a new born - or maybe it was either of them.
i can remember coming out of the nighborhood and going up a street or two.  i never rode too far.  i remember it was difficult.
i thought of all that today as the woman rolled by me - she was doing a good job and kudos to her for pulling that extra weight around.
oh and kudos to me for kicking out a pretty big workout
now to clean the house - YUCK
kp and I may swim later as long as the storms stay away
