i like to walk and talk!

wednesday, july 30th
3.25 mile walk with Chris and the boys
up to Trop and back
80's (felt good at first, almost a cool breeze; warm by the time we got back)
6:30-7:30 a.m.

We've all been getting over colds and I've just been exhausted, plus I've been trying to let my knee rest from running. But it was so nice that Chris decided to get out of bed at 6 a.m. (I'm so proud of him!) and say, let's go for a walk. I was dragging my feet about it (actually I had already started cleaning the house since Val is coming tonight) but decided to stop being a punk and go. We had a great time and I especially appreciated it because Chris chatted with me later today and said it was so nice to have talked and spent some time together this morning versus usually how it is with him rushing out the door. I could not have agreed more. He wants to do more of this and I am so excited! He has also gone to the gym and ran/walk twice the last few days. I really am so proud of his efforts to get out and exercise and start running. We're looking for a 5K in September because we can't do the one on the 13th because there is a stake Primary activity, but I think I found one that seems really kid-friendly on the 27th, so we'll see where that goes. Hopefully we can get registered soon; it seems like having that out there is a good motivation to keep up with the daily runs. My plan is to run 3, maybe 4 days a week and walk the other 2-3. I don't think it's too much to expect myself to exercise and be active 5, even 6 days out of the week. It's fun to be doing stuff like this as a family! Plus I'm almost to my 100 miles which is fun to see!
