Um, Week 11

So I've been on hiatus a bit. And after a laundry list of excuses (foot, wine, laziness, etc. . .) I'm trying to get back on the training bandwagon.

Saturday I tried doing yoga while the twins were napping. Instead it turned into a tackle/wrestle opportunity for the baby. She and I ended up having a great time, but I'm not sure of the effectiveness of full tackle yoga.

Then, I stuffed the kids under coats and blankets and boots and into the triple wide hoping enough snow had melted we might be able to make it around the neighborhood sidewalks a bit. For the most part we did ok, but some areas were too narrow and we either had to push through the drifts or turn around and find another route. We also had some tears when we found out one of our parks had not yet been scooped out.

Coming home reminded me how much the kids have grown since last summer - walking up the hill to the house gave me time to calculate the total weight of kids and stroller I was actually pushing . . . approx 130 lbs now . . . no wonder my thighs were burning!

Yesterday we took the kids to the lake for a 6 miler. The weather was good, but man it seemed like a long way around! I feel great today, so maybe not all is lost just yet.
