mgrill's Journal, 08 August 2014

Even though I didn't get my lunch hour time at the gym yesterday, my husband was awesome enough to parent the kiddos last night so that I could get out to our climbing wall for a half-hour. It's amazing that we have such an awesome place to exercise in our garage, but what's more amazing is how tough it can be to get out to use it! Love the opportunities when they do come around. He even managed to keep the kids out of there so that I had to room to myself. However, I do love to watch the kids climb...amazing to see what kids can do naturally.

Finally Friday! Normal work day today and normal lunch hour workout on deck. Planning to do one of my favorite medicine ball/bosu ball routines today. Nice full body 'beating'.

Tomorrow the kids are both doing a mountain bike race. My 19-mo daughter will do a quick little 50 yard race, and my 6 year old son will do the 1 mile race (again). He had asked to do the 4 mile race, but that is the level at which kids are timed, etc. and I'm just not ready to introduce the lesson of competition quite yet. At the 1 mile level, everyone still gets a ribbon, etc. It just seems best for his age.

I miss my days of racing, but I can't express how much fun it is to see my kids start out in these sports. They seem to be having fun with it, too. I'll look forward to the years ahead of us to see how the ripples of "throwing pebbles in the water" expands in the years to come.

Wow, as I picture you and your family, all that comes to mind is the Walt Disney movie "The Incredibles". I wish I had a climbing wall.

LOL - Love that movie! We built the wall (well, more like a 'cave') about 4 years ago. It was on our 'wish list' of things to do for the better part of a decade. Every house should have one...if only just for the padded floors. :-)

I want a rock wall! Right now all we have is a hay wall and well.. nothing sucks more than hay poking your butt and legs when you're attempting to get to the top. Love how active you and the kids are. I can't wait till little man and the next one are old enough to do things like that.
