Dancing For Gum

What lengths would you go to for a stick of gum? These 3 princesses danced through 4 songs to get a stick of "spicy" gum! Pay no attention to the bantering between sisters.

Cindy Beck, author said...: Very cute. But it'd take more than gum to get me to dance at that age! :); June 23, 2011 at 4:55 PM

I'm with the other gals..... I don't know if I'd dance for gum..... but most certainly, I'd dance for chocolate. Or a trip to Hawaii!

Darla said...: Dancing for Gum... life is so simple when your young. The stakes are higher the older you get :-). If you are going to see this body dance, it has to be for something much bigger :-).; June 26, 2011 at 9:26 AM

wendy said...: Ha Ha...CUTE. Reminded me of my grandkids and all their dressing up and dancing antics. I LOVE IT.
and so easily rewarded...a piece of gum.

Valerie said...: How fun! I need to take some videos of my children. It's different when they're old and don't seem to do as many spontaneously cute things when the camera is on them. That and they would kill me if I posted anything online anyway.; June 26, 2011 at 11:17 PM
Mimi Sue said...: Such adorable little princesses! I'd probably dance for a bit of chocolate! Good for you on the 10 miler. That is quite the accomplishment at our age:) My 40th class reunion was in 2010...Mimi; June 27, 2011 at 10:16 PM
Rhoda said...: I like how you think! Hhmmmm, what else can I get them to do for gum?? What cuties!; June 27, 2011 at 10:57 PM
Happy Mom said...: Fun blog!

I answered your question on my blog, but figured I'd post my two cents worth here too. (however, I think you're a much more experienced runner than I am)

I don't know much about running, but it dawned on me that taking short strides was wasting effort. Short strides=more strides and the effort to make the stride a little longer is much less than the effort of a whole new stride. So I started pushing myself to make each stride just a bit longer. I also alternate runs. One day is for distance (start and don't stop until you've run the whole distance), the next day I'll run (no jogging allowed, it's a full run) to one street, walk fast to the next. And it must be working!; June 28, 2011 at 2:51 PM
