Random/Interesting fact: J.R.R Tolkien himself did the art for this cover of the Hobbit!
I never thought of myself as a morning person, I never really have been one! I guess in truth I'm an in-betweener:) Today I felt very much like a morning person. I got up at 5:55, got ready for the day in about five minutes, and was upstairs by six. It wasn't as awful as I thought it would be! Mom and I went to the Rec this morning to run, and I ran a lot slower this time!
Okay, now I have reached the subject I wanted to talk about:)
Running. So I did go with mom this morning, and it was so much fun! Normally I run with my Dad, but I really wanted to go more than once a week (even though that requires me to get up early...)
So I would have to run with mom. I don't normally run with her, because we've both learned that I run too fast. This may seem weird, but I have been trying to learn to run slower. (That's what mom was teaching me this morning:) My natural stride is more like a sprint, so a mile is about as far as I can go without taking a walking break. Sure, I absolutely love sprinting, but I also want to be able to run longer distances too!
It's hard for me to shorten my stride, but when I have someone to talk to, our time goes by so fast!
Off to another topic, to avoid rambling on and on about how fun running is....
I love my family! It's so awesome to have a family who loves a lot of the same things:) Like LOTR, the Hobbit, anything written by J.R.R Tolkien...
Olivia and Sam still like to exercise with me, which is a miracle... It was super fun during the Olympics, because I would be working out as I watched, doing crunches and weight lifting stuff, and Olivia would do it right next to me!
I'm a little bit hesitant to think about what it will be like to be the oldest child in the family....:0
Anyone else getting excited for the Father Daughter Banquet? EEP! It was so amazing last time, I can't wait to dance with my Dad again!
I hope you all have a good week, just two until spring break remember, don't give up yet!

P.s- Read Divergent!!! Chloe has a picture of the book on her blog if you want to see one… but seriously, this is an awesome book!!
Good for you for running with your parents! Is your dad pretty fast? What's your normal mile pace? I am quite a slow running...a jogger, really. Since Elanor is now officially six months old, I am allowed to try taking her for a jog in her jogging stroller. I'm a bit nervous, though, because even though she is small, that will definitely add a lot of extra weight!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the idea of a father-daughter banquet. Maybe Elanor can go when she's a bit more grown up!
