Reason #127: Kids don't like to get up early. When they have to get up early they are not active until after food and sufficient time to digest said food. Thus running in the a.m. is pretty safe from having milling children about.
(This morning Lauren woke up early because of a bloody nose and proceeded to beg to go running with me. She got dressed, shoes on, helmet on, bike ready. We left the house at 5:30, it took 35 minutes to go 2.5 miles. I had to remind her repeatedly which was left and right and to look both ways when crossing a street and to get off the sidewalk when a walker/runner was in front of her. We stopped three times so I could explain that I can't have a 'running conversation' about what we are going to do today/tomorrow/etc.. I need my alone time.)
Kiddie Company is such a mixed bag. At least you ad the presence of mind to put her on a bike.
