The kids and I started Saturday morning out running a 10k race benefiting Timberline's Nine70 Youth Group. It was a blast (but like I said before - a little painful too). I hadn't pushed both kids in a jogging stroller but maybe once or twice this entire summer. For some reason, I thought I could manage 6.2 miles with them. The map did say it was mostly flat terrain. It mostly was - but there were a few solid hills to conquer. By mile marker 1 - I was wishing I wasn't pushing two kids in a stroller.... my arms hurt!
Anyways, the day couldn't have been more perfect for a run. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was gorgeous weather. I didn't pull a bad time either - all things considered. Between pushing the stroller, thinking we were close to the finish line and letting the kids get out to run the end of it - then realizing, oops - we still had a half mile left and neither kid wanted to run that far - so loading them back up and then unloading them again (only this time, Triston wanted carried, so we walked the last 200 yards in) while Kylee ran into the finish line all by herself. She was so proud of being able to do that. Ear to ear smiles!!!! And then delicious pancakes for breakfast - of which both kids devoured! Triston paid for those pancakes with a nasty nose by Monday, but I think he found it was well worth it at the time.
(as you can tell - Triston hit his breaking point for the morning - it was definitely nap time!)
After the run - we got Kylee back to town for her soccer game. The more she plays the harder she goes after it. She seems to really be liking the sport.
We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out at Grandma & Grandpa's while I scanned pictures and relaxed. Ate dinner with my sisters and brother-in-laws (and nieces) at Chili's - and then off to bed. Saturday was a pretty awesome day!
