Stuck

So I’m kinda stuck on Week 6 of the First Day to 5k training podcast.  Basically, I’m scared to move on because I don’t think I can run the 25-minutes that’s required soon.

That’s 25 minutes without stopping.

Last week, I was under the weather and felt like I kinda lost some ground.  I got back up on the horse, so to speak, this week and it has gone well but I’m still intimidated by that 25 minute thing.

Ten-Year-Old is training for a 5k too and he has almost caught up with me.  He’s on Week 5 and pretty much flew through the 20-minutes-of-running part that just about killed me a few weeks ago.

But then I remembered that he’s ten and I’m…..um…..not so I should give myself a break.

Plus, I’ve had 10 babies and he’s never even been pregnant.

Get it?

Wow.  Even knowing that no one reads this blog, I am still able to crack myself up.

I’m so talented.

Anyway.

Seven-Year-Old was asking about the race that we’re going to be running this spring/summer.  I haven’t decided which one we’re going to do and there are LOTS of them up here, so plenty to choose from.

But she was asking what the winner got as a prize.

And I told her that I didn’t think they got anything.  That it’s more for fun and a challenge but that maybe they got a medal or something.

And she said, “So…..no pony?”

And the cute little thing was deadly serious.

Win a 5k and get a pony?

SCORE!
