Avery and I have just started doing the Couch to 5K running program, with plans to run a 5K sometime this summer. This is in attempt for me to get some much needed vigorous exercise and to try to stimulate Avery, who appears to have the highest physical needs of any child ever. Anyway, I admit that I was really worried that I'd drop dead during my first running attempt, since the last time I ran was...oh, about ten years and three kids ago. I was very proud of myself that I made it through the first workout without passing out, doubling over, or vomiting. Go me! However, it was hard to be too self-congratulatory when I realized (over the sound of my panting) that Avery had not stopped jabbering away during the entire workout. And as we ran our last segment, she showed me how high she could jump in the air and how she could run by kicking her feet high in the air. I was proud of myself just for being able to keep moving my feet, and she wasn't even winded!
Is it too late to make Griffin my running partner?

Well, humph!
I think this is awesome - plus Griffin has a job, he rides in the stroller and walks with me and Rhys. :D
Uhh... Where's the photo for this one?
