Some of you may remember that I was scheduled for the Bluemont Vineyard 5k today. Well – Scott had to go to NYC yesterday for business and will not be home until this afternoon – so I had to bow out of it. I was bummed until yesterday when I realized that Thursday’s Plumbline workout would render me down and out for the count. We probably did 100m back and forth with 25lb db 4-5x times. If you want to see some serious results – try that. I am still in pain and the soreness kept waking me up last night. I love being this sore in so many ways – but in a few ways – I don’t.
I have been asked to do another 5k next weekend – I am considering it and will keep you posted.
We here in suburbia have entered into the spring sports season so that means Saturdays are spent on various sports fields with our kids. Nate has his first soccer game of the season this morning, so we will be headed out in the next hour or so to get his team pics done and then to the game. The Joys of Parenthood!
I remember years and years ago – 1999 – Scott and I had just moved into our suburban paradise. No kids, big house – to be there when we did have kids – living in a neighborhood that was all about kids. Weekends spent doing whatever the hell we wanted — Remember those days? Anyways, back then one Saturday, we were driving somewhere and parents and kids littered the school fields on both sides of the road as we headed out. We both remember so vividly me saying, in all seriousness, “How sad that these people have to waste their Saturdays watching their kids play soccer”. I was dead serious when I said it. And look at me now – shows you how much one can change – I am now the parent “wasting their Saturday” watching her super cute son playing soccer. I totally was not ready for parenthood back then. I had no clue what was in store for me — That was 1999, Hannah was born in 2002.
