So, as you know, over the past 6 weeks Vic and I have been working up to a 5 Km run. This last week has been a bit hectic, since Jay came home, it was Canada day weekend and we've been looking at that house and visiting the bank. With all that going on, I missed my run on Monday night, and my jog/walk prep thing on Wednesday night. Yesterday, Vic wasn't feeling great and Brandy hosted an Arbonne party, so sadly we had to postpone our final 5 km run. The plan is to go today, with or without children, I'm not sure which. Even without having ran for the past week, I feel pretty confident about being able to complete it without any stops. We picked up a jogging stroller for cheap last night, which needs a new inner tube on one of the tires. Elijah said he wants to start running with me...We'll see how that goes, he's a little too competitive for my taste.
So, Arbonne party, I left DJ at home, and got home early, expecting him to want to feed...just to find out that he was upstairs asleep, and stayed asleep until 1130...oh well. such is life.
Annnddd next Saturday, we'll be home for two weeks! WOOO HOOO, I'm SO excited for the humidity... not.

Porty family farm
So we've been toying with the idea of moving to a 21 acre hobby farm 45 minutes away, and on the way to and from french class tonight, I heard these two songs for the first time:

Made me laugh, thought I'd share.
So, should we move? Wouldn't it suck to get settled in, start planting in the spring...and get posted?

So, running is coming along nicely. Pushing a stroller definitely slows you down and wears you out faster. Sucks to be Vicky who's pushing the double stroller lol. Anyways, I feel pretty confident that we'll be able to reach the 5km no problem by the end of this. After that we're thinking of bumping it up to 10km, hopefully in time for the terry fox run in the fall.
Aside from running, I got a nice little surprise when i stepped in the scale today. For the past four years I've weighed 155. Now I weigh 149. i know, it's not a huge difference, but it still feels good :). Hopefully we can keep eating healthier and i can add more exercise to my life. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to reach 140!
Last thing, we spent the day at Ethel lake on Sunday. It was wonderful ♥ That's the kind of life I want to life. The kids loved every minute, and so did I. There's nothing quite as calming as nursing your baby on the end of a dock with your toes in the water.

wow
Holy crow am I ever out of shape. At the beginning of each hockey season, my first skate of the year, my ears hurt. Today, when i went for my run, by the end of the third interval, my ear was hurting. Plus a few other places on my body lol. Anyways, point is that I'm out of shape :D But I'm glad I'm doing something about it. speaking of doing something about getting in shape...
CONGRATULATIONS BRANDY!!! :D My friend ( and i know you read this ) placed third in Cold Lake's Biggest winner this year! Out of 100 people!!! She's been doing amazing these past few months, and looks fantastic ( not that she didn't before) but she just looks confident and proud of what she's accomplished. Anyways, if that's not enough to motivate me to get my ass in gear...well then, I guess I'm screwed haha! Wish me luck :D
P.S. In six weeks we head home for two weeks, which means i should be able to run 5km by then. I'm hoping to do it in under 25 minutes, because in high school I ran a 5 km race for gym class, which our teacher said we'd get an extra 5% on our report card if we did it in under 25 minutes... I did it in just over 25 minutes, but still got the extra credit :P Anyways, it would be nice to finally do it! SO if you hear of a 5 km race going on close to Guelph while I'm home, let me know!!!

5k
The plan ( because I'm lazy and unmotivated)
5km in six weeks. ( I got this from Today's Parent )
Week one (which started today)
Workout 1 (today): 30 minute walk
Workout 2 (wednesday): 7-min walk, 2 min run, 1 min walk, repeat 3 times, 7 min walk
Workout 3 ( Friday) : 7 min walk, 2 min run, 90 sec walk, 3 min run, 90 sec walk, 2 min run, 7 min walk
:) The walk today was nice, I was in a bit of a funk today. We went to the provincial park for a bit, which cheered me up, and then went for a walk. I think that was all I needed. Anyways, hopefully i stick to this, I'll let you know!
