Ok, so even though I may be the LAST PERSON ON THE PLANET to know this......my kids are some of the best fitness buddies a gal could have. On Thursday O put me thru the paces with his playground obstacle course. On Saturday and Sunday O, M and I moved for a solid hour each day up and down the hills and around the winding paths of the magical forest of Fort Abercrombie State Historic Park. Their energy and enthusiasum helped move me along the path as I focused on their lightening-fast,wiggling frames up ahead of me. Honestly, I really needed them. I had taken a nose-dive on Sunday because I finally came to grips with just how far out of shape I had fallen over the past 24 years. I blinked my eyes and all that time had passed without me realizing how... well, whatever... kids are so happy that you want to play with them that they don't care about all of that stuff. When I'm following their lead there isn't time to think about the past. Next week they'll be at camp so I won't have them to inspire me (don't worry, I still have the torture crew waiting for me at the Kodiak Athletic Cub). Until next weekend I'll have to move myself around the trails without the Wild Things running up ahead of me. I've gotta do it... if I want to smoke O's obstacle course.
Are you and your wild things going to "RUN the ROCK?" on Saturday, Oct. 9 in Kodiak, Alaska? "Skipping, Strolling, Jumping, Leaping, Dancing THE ROCK" is ok too!
