Mommy did you get faster???

So I just took both my kids to DineyLand for the first time. Sooooo much fun! We would go to the park in the morn, then go back to the hotel for a healthy lunch and naps.
On the way back to the room my kids and I would race each other to the front door (mostly to wear em out a bit more before napping) and on the third day as we ran down the hall my almost 4 year old daughter said "wow, Mommy did you get faster? I am running and you are still here right with me!" I was so proud of myself at that moment! I did get faster because before I would start to run and then huff and puff to a stop while she flew by.
Now I know that if one of my kids ran for the street I could catch them! (This was the biggest reason that I started to lose in the first place, I grabbed her by her hair to stop her, I couldn't keep up and I was so scared she would make the street before I could get her)
Just thought that I would share, for me this is better than any number on the scale!
