Week 5- End of Month 1

 We did really bad walking this week- only 2 miles.  Although, having this goal got us out Friday afternoon before I took the kids to their Dad's for the weekend.  I also went on another 3.5 mile hike with a bestie from high school... but Nathan said that wasn't our original plan.  These miles have to be walked together.   

22+ miles in one month isn't bad!  But we are hoping we do a better job this week!  And have more time spent together.  We can only improve!  :) 

And PS: I love my kid!

Week 4! Still Walking!

 Week 4- We had a great week!  It was COLD!  But it always feels so good to get out in Nature.  We walked around our neighborhood, Minto Brown Park(Where I saved a wooly bear from getting stepped on in the middle of a walking path), and Silver Falls.  The highlight was having both Kathryn and Nathan on a hike around Silver Falls- it was so pretty!  But 3.5 miles really felt like 6...  So grateful we are healthy and able to walk!

Week 3, Post 3

  Here we are at Week 3- And we slowed way down. There was some rain... there were a few headaches. I ended up going out one day with Kathryn instead of Nathan- and I am counting it! 

 We didn't get out as much as we wanted to- but we did get out and plan to do better next week. Always plan for better.

Week 2-post 2

 Nathan reminded me this week it isn’t as important that we hit our number goal as it is having consistent activity and being together. 

How did I get such a wise kid?

Week 2: 1/3-1/10 total: 5.33 miles 

PS:  On 1/9 we ran some errands and stopped at our favorite park to walk, but decided we were too cold and weren't feeling it.  But its cool... we tried.  And .12 counts right? ;)

1000 Miles in 2021! 1st Post

 Today is January 2, 2021- Nathan and I went on our first walk for the year!  We decided to make a goal of walking 1000 mile this year-- walking together(So the hikes he takes at his Dad's or when I go walking with with my friends won't count towards the 1000).  

2020 was a bit of a tough year... but in March, Nathan and I started walking every day- not only did we feel better physically, we really bonded and my son has become one of my best friends.  I enjoy spending time with my children, but really LOVE it when they enjoy spending time with me. 

So.... this blog is set up to track our progress- I am hopeful Grayson and Kathryn will join us for a few strolls.  We will try to post weekly updates with all of our adventures!

2.32 miles down... only 997.68 to go!  

Quote of the day:  "I'm tired."  "Do you want to turn around?"  "Nah.. I am too tired to turn around, lets just finish this loop!"

And PS: I tore my plantar fascia in November 2020, so we are starting slow and steady, hoping to get back to running by summer.
