Running/playing on the trail

Because I'm so devoted to exercise....ok, seriously, because I attempt to try and occasionally do something exercise-ish, I decided today that we would run/walk a trail that goes through Maple Valley. If you're really awesome you can run about 16 miles, maybe more, without leaving this one trail.

We did 4. And I didn't run it all. I haven't done a ton since Ragnar, and I'm totally happy with that. And because I was low key, I let Henry and Nora get out and run whenever they wanted on the way back.

So they would sit for a while...

And then run for a while....

and then sit for a while.....
You get the point. It was soo much fun though. I really enjoyed letting them just do what they wanted. I would run while they were in the stroller, and then I walked while they ran. And you know what? I am TIRED. My legs are tired and the kids ate more lunch than I've seen them eat in a long time.

Now hopefully this means we will ALL fall asleep really easily as well. If that happens, we may just walk/run/play 4 miles every day!

  1. Running while pushing a jogging strollingn with two strapping kids is equivalent to doubling the distance without them - so you did 8!!! You're my hero.
