Just ran 4 miles in rain. I am training for a 1/2 in November. We’ll see if I can make it to 13. Now I am wrapped in fleece after hot shower, eating hot steel cut oats with soy milk, brown sugar and raisins in a quiet house. Preschool day. Life is good
I had a wonderful day with the kids yesterday. Wednesdays are our free day where the day is ours, no scheduled events. We went to the pool with friends. Very fun. The kids are swimming like fish. I’m amazed at how much progress they made yesterday from 2 weeks ago. Abigail started really “swimming ” on her own a few weeks ago. Yesterday she started diving in and then immediately swimming once she was in. And she learned to flip from front to back while swimming. She also started swimming on her back about 6 feet at a time. Andrew got better at torpedos. He kept saying he learned this from his swim teacher Sara at the Y. I guess the $30 I paid for lessons was worth it! So a torpedo for a 2 year old is where you sit on side of pool and dive in, push off wall, swim, turn and swim back. He got better yesterday at “diving”, really pushing off wall on his own and got better at swimming with his arms. He started to swim on his own to wall underwater maybe a 1/2 foot. This coming from a little boy who has always been grouchy about the water! We’ve turned a corner! Yay! So proud of my little guys!
