So after my 3 mile run this morning I came home to my youngest 2 kids dressed and ready to go run! So off we went! They picked the dirt road route and it has some stinking steep hills! Am I glutton for punishment or what?! They ran for the first few minutes and then it turned into an exploration! I loved watching them and listening to their hilarious conversations. ♡ We stopped and picked Morning Glories, looked at rocks, looked off the small bridge and just had a good time. At 1/2 mile we turned back. At .58 my precious little 47 lb 4 year old decided her legs couldnt work anymore. So I carried her, piggyback style. Up the hill I like to lovingly refer to as Murder Hill. This hill will beat you down and have you praying to God. And when you think youre almost to the top, that unexpected little last incline will have you begging for mercy. I climbed that, with a 47 lb kid on my back! If that doesnt show strength and progress, I dont know what does! At the last, .98 mile to be exact, she decided she could walk now. But big brother needed a ride! So up goes the 54 lb son for just a little bit and then he was miraculously able to walk again! Goodness. That was a 30 minute workout if I ever had one! Oh but it gets better. My mother and sister came over to help mow my yard. Its about 1.5 acres. Mom rode her zero turn and I push mowed around the edges, under trees, by the road, moved toys, trampoline, tractor tire, etc. My sister watched the kids til they went to Grammas. I had forgot to reset my Garmin so the first pic is just our walk. Second pic is walk plus mowing! I walked almost a mile with the mower and burned 610 calories during that hour! Shower next and I may not move off the couch for the rest of the day. ;-)
