I ran/walked with the kids this morning.  I may get out and run later, but it depends on what time hubby comes back.

 

A flat (well, shredded, really) tire took up a lot of this evening.  I'm just finished with dinner and it's already dark...so no more running, but I'm not really all that sad.

I've never changed our new van tire before.  I'm glad I was able to get hold of my husband and his bros, because it took all 4 of us to put on the spare.  And that was after the car fell off and bent the jack.  Also, who knew the spare was in the front of the van?  I hope I never have to change it myself.  I honestly don't think I can do it.

Great week, nothing beats run walking with the kids. I race mine and that gets them going!!!

Awesome job on your Half and meeting and beating that goal!

School kids or your kids? In any case, it's nice to have kids to go with.

Was supposed to be with school kids, but I had to drag my kids out of bed. So it was a nice outing, but slow. We had to stop to throw some rocks in the creek, to watch some ants, to pretend we were cats, etc.

My 2-year-old has pretty good stamina for a, well, 2yr.old. He likes to run, but his run speed is my walk speed. Then he tells me, "Mommy! Run!" and I must shuffle my feet to keep him appeased. My 4 year old is getting better (although he usually rides his bike or scooter), but he did complain a bit towards the end here.

They both do like to race though! At least in short bursts. And I mostly have to let them win :)
