Day 365 - 2010!!!

We had a girls day out and went and saw Tangled. We missed the first 3 minutes and had to sit in the first row but otherwise I LOVED it! It is definitely one I will see again. And it was a lot of fun to just go out with the girls.

...then Diane and I ran the Resolution Run through the Running Room. It is a 5km run around the lake. I think I have run once or twice since Mitchell was born (I tend to be a fair weather runner) but I managed to do this without stopping. Bring on the New Year! Of course we then went home and had Chinese food and relaxed with Melissa and the other guys.

Day 290 - 2010

We all travelled to Toronto to watch Drew and Glenn run the 1/2 marathon. We missed their actual finish (we drove and then took the subway to get to the end) but got to see them in motion as they ran TO the start line! They finished very well - 1:43:08. Nicely done boys!

Day 150 - 2010

Run Drew run! Do you think he gets tired of hearing that? He and Glenn successfully completed the Ottawa half marathon in 1 hour 48 minutes. Way to go guys! Awesome!

Day 100 - 2010

Wow Day 100 already!

I snuck this one of Drew getting ready for his run. The kids did NOT think he should run with just the red shirt (or the shorts underneath but that wouldn't have been polite to show). He started running in November and is planning to run a 1/2 marathon at the end of May.

Day 256 - Sunday, September 13, 2009

We participated in the annual Terry Fox run before church

and headed to Fall kick-off at church where we had a reverse day (adults went out to "Sunday School" and kids stayed in) and introduced the new children's groups.

Day 219 - Friday, August 7, 2009

52 card pick-up! A little exercise routine I picked up from a local boot camp I took. We use a deck of cards and assign an exercise to each suit - ie leg lifts for every club. You do a rep for each number on the card. We do a minute of cardio for every face card we raise. And the great thing is, the kids love it and have actually ASKED me to do it a few times this week. I hope it continues.

Day 196 - Wednesday, July 15, 2009

We all participated as a family in Running Room's 20 minute challenge - the challenge to "move" for at least 20 minutes. We were all glad to see that some friends were there too - it helped keep the kids motivated.

Day 39 - Sunday, February 8, 2009

You can't read it well but it is about 6:10am. Way too early!!! I tried to be nice this morning and take Diva for her walk instead of Drew (and get a run in myself) - and she woke up 1/2 hour earlier than usual. She then proceeded to wake up Marlee who had a fit (and woke everyone else up) that I was going to go out!

[I did get out and it was a good run - just not the way we'd intended].
