Things have been rather bumpy lately. {i feel like i say that a lot?} Frustration runs deep, and I am feeling the stress of having my husband home for a total of 4 days in five weeks. Some days it takes everything in me to parent, and I will admit sometimes I just fail. Things could be worse, but they could also be ohsomuchbetter. I need to work on that.
I haven’t been training for my 1/2 marathon like I envisioned. I use the shitty weather as an excuse. A lot. Yesterday was perfect. I asked the twins if they wanted to go for a walk, and they excitedly agreed. I have committed to paying $1.00 for every mile that our completes until our charity: water campaign ends on June 18th.
right now we have raised $878!!
We set out with the intent for a leisurely stroll… BB said he would go to Beau’s house {which is about 1/2 mile away}, Ashton wanted to do “the loop” with me {2.78 miles}. Well, we ended up doing a whole 5K {3.1 miles}! And there was barely any whining, which is a miracle in itself!
I left the boys home and set out for another 5K for myself.
Shortly before 8, Ash asked if I wanted to go walk/run a little bit more. How could I resist that?? We ended up doing a few more miles!
I am so proud of these little guys. I would have never even CONSIDERED doing two miles when I was their age!
Totals:
- Mom: 8.42 miles
- Ashton: 6.02 miles
- Bridger: 3.1 miles
Another $17.54 in the bank for our fundraising! Woot!
This photo? Priceless. The sun felt amazing. {check out the Garmin on his arm, he has totally overtaken it }
