We did it!
BK (Before Kids) I used to exercise pretty faithfully. Running, aerobics or biking...nothing for competition...but just because it felt good. After we started our family I always thought I'd get back to it "when the kids were old enough" - whatever that means. This January I realized that it has been 12 years - YEARS since I had done more than walk as a form of exercise. Yikes. And so it began...slowly I've worked my way up. My goal was to run a 5K - not to compete, but to run it...whole thing. Well I did my first 5K on Sunday - the 4-H Duck Race in Tompkins County. The family joined me. It was great! Jeffy spent some time with our friends, the Youngers, but the rest of us ran it. There might have been a few sore muscles on Mon and Tues...but it was a good experience...and it was a great thing to do together. Hope we will do another one soon...
