While we are wrapping up all of this business with my recertification MADNESS, we are still trying to stick with our family goals of being active. Jude and I have a special connection right now – you know how kids vacillate between one parent and the other at times… Well, he and I are like peas and carrots this week while Gigi and her Daddy go together like bread and butter! It’s been nice to have a little buddy.
Today as we were heading to the track I set the expectation that Jude would run one time around with me -1/4 a mile. I thought he would fight it (he often does) but instead he seemed excited to take a lap with me!
It was thrilling to see him take off and keep running as fast as his little legs could carry him around the track. He didn’t stop once. I was SO proud of his can-do attitude and positive spirit! What a joy! We may be adding a fourth runner to our mix! (I hope!)
After all that hard work, what’s a kid to do but get hauled to the car on his big sister’s back?! She’s no slouch either – she just ran 1.5 miles!
(They just discovered today that Guinevere can give Jude piggy back rides. We laugh because she is only about 4 pounds heavier than he is.)
