However, on a more positive note from this negative attitude, I decided that I needed to have something to work towards or else I'm less motivated. So I decided to try a 5K, and I did one this morning!
At the starting line. I migrated to the back...no need to draw attention to myself. Here's the proof I finished alive and well...see, I don't even have the proper running attire. My time was a couple minutes faster than I have been doing. It must have been the adrenaline plus the other runners that helped. Sadly, I did not finish ahead of the old man in his really short running shorts and no shirt. He took 1st place and I think I actually doubled his time. Who knew you can run it with a time in the teens. They said this was his 1200th 5K run, so I let him have the glory of the win this race. Next time, old man! Next time!
The turn-around point of the run was right near a Kohls, and I was tempted to stop and shop. Doesn't that sound a lot more fun?Here is part of my cheering section, minus Scott taking the pictures.
ok...so he wasn't really cheering...but I'll take what I can get.And last, what's a good post without pictures of this guy! Tyson weighed in at 34 lbs 10 oz. and was 37 1/2 inches tall at his last 18 month appointment. I looked up my stats in my babybook and was 34 inches at the same height, so needless to say, he'll be taller than me! He's in nursery now (Hip Hip Hooray!) and doing really well. This kid loves to play.
This is his classic dance pose. Fingers up and moves around. Learned these moves from his mama! He thought it was fun to play in his old bouncy seat and push the music button.
He fell asleep on the carpet watching his favorite movie as of now which is Open Season (the one with the bear and the deer). When he wants to watch it, he says, "Roar!" and I know he means the bear movie. This kids loves his blanket.
He's a cute little guy!

Wow..we are proud of you. I am amazed after running a 5K you can hold Tyson with one arm. YOU GO GIRL! MOM
No one runs in our family, haven't you gotten the memo. And, have you asked the doctor about your child sucking a blanket??? How unique.
lol! I love that post! Mostly cause I feel the exact way that you do about running! I hate it! But I have been trying to run lately too! and I am totally with you on stopping at Kohls! Much more fun!!! lol :)
wow Kim! Go you!!! I too hate running but really need to push myself into it...thanks for the inspiration! ps...Tyson looks so stinkin cute!
Congrats! I keep telling myself that after this baby comes I am going to start running, but...I too hate running. Tyson is so cute, and I'm glad that he is enjoying nursery. Makenna misses him!
I forgot to mention that I like the green room. Cool color
Yay! You did it! Even though the old man beat you, at least you crossed the finish line with your cheering fans. Still wish I could have been there...we could have hated it together! :)
There is a boy about 18 months old that sucks on his blanket to go to sleep. It's pretty funny, he just wads it up and shoves it in there and he's out. I say whatever works! I can't believe how big his is. He is super cute and looking more and more like a little boy! Way to go on the 5K, but I'm with Kristin...the extended family doesn't even run! Thanks for making us all look bad! :) haha! CONGRATS
Nice work! You're looking great too. And it is true - he does get his dance moves from his mama. I can see you doing it right now - fingers up moving in a circle and you shakin' your hips! Love it.
Next marathon you'll have to carry your Kohls card in your back pocket, or maybe in your shoe; it could be good luck. You should try it. You look really cute in your non-running attire. I have always wanted the bikers outfit, I don't bike but I always think that I would be a good biker if I had the spandex suit. Hehe.
I hate running as well started up last year with a group of friends every morning. When we did our 5K I thought it was stupid and didn't want to pay to run anymore...some of them have really kept up though. I say...more power to ya sister!
