Boy, what a gorgeous day…<\/p>\n
I’m so glad I decided to get outside with the kids this morning.<\/p>\n
Ew, gross.\u00a0 Look at that giant bug.\u00a0 I hope Chloe doesn’t see it.<\/p>\n
I should run now.\u00a0 Was that enough of a warm up walk?\u00a0 Maybe I should wait to run until I get to that tree up ahead.\u00a0 No, not that close one–that one further away.<\/p>\n
Alright.\u00a0 This is good.\u00a0 I’m off to a steady start.\u00a0 Just slow and steady.<\/p>\n
Yes, Chloe I see you. (shown by a thumbs up)<\/p>\n
Yes, Chloe you can pick that flower. (shown by another thumbs up)<\/p>\n
Yes, Josiah I see the flowers too.\u00a0 (shown by a loud happy grunt)<\/p>\n
Wow–I never realized how hilly this road was.<\/p>\n
Try and just relax and swing your arms.<\/p>\n
“Okay Chloe”\u00a0 it’s time to cross the road.<\/p>\n
I can’t run anymore.\u00a0 I think I should walk.\u00a0 No, wait–here comes another person on the trail.\u00a0 I have to wait until I pass that person, so they don’t see me walk.<\/p>\n
(Happy wave at stranger.)<\/p>\n
Yes!\u00a0 I’m past.\u00a0 Now I can walk.\u00a0 Just for a second.<\/p>\n
Eww–look at the sweat dripping off my sunglasses.<\/p>\n
Time to run again.\u00a0 I hear you Josiah–Chloe’s starting to get away.\u00a0 We better catch up.<\/p>\n
“Okay Chloe”\u00a0 Another road.<\/p>\n
Remember when I thought it was a beautiful morning–I’ve changed my mind.\u00a0 It’s too hot.<\/p>\n
I’ve got to be getting close…<\/p>\n
Oh–I never noticed that house before.\u00a0 It’s pretty.<\/p>\n
Yes, Chloe you can pick up that piece of trash.\u00a0 (shown by thumbs up)<\/p>\n
Yes, Josiah, I see Chloe picking up the trash.\u00a0 (shown by, “uh, huh”)<\/p>\n
“Okay Chloe”<\/p>\n
Boy, I’m on a roll–look at me run.\u00a0 I’m pretty fast.<\/p>\n
I feel like I could run down this hill forever.<\/p>\n
No.\u00a0 I was wrong.\u00a0 I need to walk now.\u00a0 The hill has ended and Josiah is heavier than I remember.<\/p>\n
“Okay Chloe”<\/p>\n
Have you gained weight since yesterday Josiah?\u00a0 I swear you’re heavier…<\/p>\n
Oh, look!\u00a0 It’s the last turn before our house!<\/p>\n
Almost there…<\/p>\n
I hope I don’t see anyone I know.\u00a0 I’m a mess…<\/p>\n
I’m totally going to sprint the last block.<\/p>\n
Maybe not sprint… how about half sprint?<\/p>\n
Okay, if I can just keep running and to the end I’ll be happy….<\/p>\n
Maybe just a slow run….<\/p>\n
Almost……….\u00a0 there……..<\/p>\n
Yes!\u00a0 I’m a rockstar!\u00a0 (hands in the air as I pass the <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Boy, what a gorgeous day… I’m so glad I decided to get outside with the kids this morning.
