Matthew and Alden have just set out on a run. Matthew goes running pretty much every day. The heat is enough less intense today that he decided to bring Alden along – the extra ballast (slung as she is between three well-oiled bicycle wheels with excellent suspension and action) will hopefully not undo him. As a safety precaution, he has enabled his run tracking software, a pretty cool app called Runkeeper, through his iPod.
This way, I can watch him as he progresses, and if the little blue running man icon stops moving in the middle of the road somewhere, I will know that he has either passed out from exhaustion or has stopped to talk to some of the more fetching ladies residing on the other side of the Chester River.
Either way, I’m hopping in the space van and retrieving him.
Back in 7th grade when I was reading Nineteen Eighty-Four, I never thought that it could be me. Another dream realized. Check.
That is awesome.
Totally going to use stuff like this to keep track of my kid’s whereabouts when she is older too.
