Run, Girl. Run! The Conclusion

The 5k has come and gone!

My whole little family ran!

It was nearly 100 degrees, so we only ran about half of it…  When the husband and I walked, little Derek RAN!  He stole the show!  Everyone thought he was just TOO cute!!

We will DEFINATELY be doing this again!  I love that my baby WANTED to run!!  Healthy kids!!!!

***McCrazy DAily Lesson:  We need to lead our children by example.  Even if we don’t feel we can, we must TRY!  We never know what effect if may have!***

Run, Girl, Run

RGR Take 2

To Run, or Not to Run

I woke up this morning.  (Thank you God!)

It wasn’t sunny, exactly, but there was sun and it wasn’t raining.  So, I decided to run.   My 5K is coming up THIS month and I haven’t ran in over a WEEK!

 

So, I take off; stroller and two babies in tow.  It was sprinkling a bit, so I decided to take the short route first (just in case).  By sprinkling a I mean VERY slight mist.  I got about half way around and WAM! it became a downpour!    

 

Not that I particularly minded…  It was just the irony.  I kind of enjoyed it.  

I did cut it short.  (Only a mile.)  The almost 4 year old kept telling me his Batman shoes were getting wet, and seeing as I didn’t know how long it would last I figured I would take the kids in…

Now, it is sunny, and the rain is drying up.  😉  

***McCrazy Daily Lesson: Take the rain with the sun.  They are both gifts from God.  🙂  ***

UPDATE: Running/Blanket

Two totally different subjects!  😉

I ran today.  The stroller is KILLING ME!  We ran without the stroller in the mountains, while we were vacationing, and it was GREAT!  Running on flat ground with the stroller STINKS!  Either way, I am getting better!!  🙂 5K on the 20th…not too sure, but I’m getting there!  Skinny me, here I come!!!  Run, Run, Run!

To all you out there who want to run, but can’t get up and do it (like me): JUST GET UP!!!  You will feel a WHOLE lot better.  Everyone has to start SOMEWHERE!!

On to the next topic with my ADD…

Spiderman blanket:

 

Wedge number ONE done.  Nine more to go!  😉  Derek is SUPER excited.  Anyone who has a little boy who LOVES Spiderman should click the picture.  It’s a REALLY easy pattern!

Run, Girl, Run: Take 2

So, I had almost given up on the run, honestly…  I was getting no where, and I didn’t really mind…lol…  Unmotivated.

Until today…

We just went for a family run.  My three-year-old now LOVES to run with Daddy, (you know, he’s in that whole “I wanna BE Daddy” phase).  So, the first part of the run he ran with Daddy.  When he got too tired to run, he got in the stroller. I ran with Daddy.  This only lasted a few seconds, (like 30 seconds to be exact…lol).  SO, Daddy said that HE would push the stroller with the boys so that I could just run.  

WOW!  I ran for, what seemed like, forever!!!!  WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!

I have  renewed sense of worth!  I am NOT the “suck of life” runner!!!

***McCrazy Daily Lesson: Don’t give up!!!!  You can do it!!!!!!  You never know when it’s going to be YOUR day!***
