ONE OF THE NEW AND EXCITING CHANGES IN OUR HOUSE IS OUR WORKOUTS. OUR GYM CLOSED. THIS WAS NO SURPRISE TO US. WE QUIT IT BEFORE THE OWNER COULD SCAM ANY MORE MONEY OUT OF US... UNLIKE SOME VERY UNLUCKY PEOPLE THAT GLADLY HANDED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THIS GUY. ANYWAY.. MY BLOG IS ABOUT OUR NEW WORKOUTS.

TODAY WAS RUN SUNDAY. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT TOGETHER. TOMMY AND I, THAT IS. I AM HARD CORE UNHAPPY ABOUT GETTING UP ON THE WEEKENDS. TOMMY LEFT ME AND PUDGIE IN BED AND RAN BY HIMSELF. THAT LEFT ME TO GO IT ALONE.

I MADE MY 3 MILE PLAN AND THEN I HAD COMPANY. JAX AND BRINKLEY WANTED TO GET IN SOME EXTRA MILES FOR RUNNING CLUB. IT ALL SOUNDED WELL AND GOOD. I CAN MAKE 3 MILES WITHOUT STOPPING.... WITHOUT CHILDREN. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.

MY THREE MILES WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
OK 3-2-1-GO
BINKY LED THE PACE SINCE HER LEGS ARE LIKE 5 INCHES LONG.
~SHE TIRES QUICKLY.
~JAX TOOK OVER THE PACE.
~HE WORRIED ABOUT BRINKLEY.
~I LEFT THEM FOR MY RUN. IT WAS A STRAIGHT PATH SO I COULD SEE THEM BEHIND ME.
~PROBLEM WAS, WE WERE ON HIGLEY. I WORRIED ABOUT THEM BY THEMSELVES, EVEN IF THEY WERE ONLY 1/4 OF A MILE BEHIND ME.
~I WOULD RUN 1/2 A MILE AND TURN AND GO BACK 1/4 OF MILE TO THEM AND TURN AND RUN ANOTHER 1/2 MILE.
~THEN REPEAT.

HOLY CRAP, THIS WENT ON FOR FLIPPEN' EVER IT SEEMED. IT WAS AN AWESOME WORKOUT BUT SERIOUSLY.....................
POOR JAX, EVERYTIME I CAME BACK TO HIM HE WOULD ASK IF I WAS MAD.
NOT ON YOUR LIFE. EVEN IF THE LOOK ON MY FACE SAID DIFFERENTLY.
I HATE RUNNING BUT I WAS SO EXCITED THEY WERE RUNNING WITH ME.

IN THE END MY 3 MILE RUN WAS A 5 MILE RUN WITH A 1 MILE WALK TO ACCOMODATE THE KIDS.
I LOVED IT.

TOMMY WAS WAITING ON THE GRASS WITH THE SLOSH PIPES.
AS IF RUNNING ISN'T ENOUGH TORTURE ON THIS BROKEN BODY.
I COMPLETED 30 OVERHEAD SQUAT WITH THE SLOSH PIPE AND NEARLY FELL OVER.
THE BEST PART WAS WATCHING PUDGIE JUST HOLD HIS SLOSH PIPE OVER HIS HEAD SAYING HE WAS SUPERMAN!

I LOVE SUNDAYS!
