Firsts on the Third

My first born started his first day of Kindergarten today. He will be going to school all day everyday. Did I cry? Not one tear! I was giddy with excitement as I pulled out of the school's parking lot. I know it sounds cruel but he was sooooo exited to go to school. How can I be sad about that? He was even fighting me taking pictures of his first day. I made him pose with his new Hulk back pack. He just rolled his eyes. I didn't realize the attitude started at 6 years old.

I know his little brother is excited that he is at school today because he came home played with his toys and took charge of the remote control to watch the cartoons he wanted to watch. I think he is in heaven. I just hope he doesn't get to comfy because I am booting his ass out the door next week. *evil laugh*

Since we are starting fresh with a new school year, I am starting up the routine of getting up before the birds again. I think I am going to have to force myself to do it for 21 days so it is a habit. Today was my first day. I got up (later than I hoped) and went for a 2.2 mile run/walk. To celebrate my first official day, I thought I would run my first whole mile to set the tone.

I jumped on board to do the Virtual One Mile Race. I suited up and headed out with G-Man. I ran the first mile and did it in 10:55. Not bad for not running any distance for a few months. I am back to walking though I will be infusing some running.
I am glad I went for a run this morning because I am starting to lose the feeling of being a runner. I was starting to ask myself why people do it? Once thoughts like that start infiltrating the brain, it is all down hill from there. I am not too far gone yet, because when I was done with my mile, I felt great and was happy that I was able to do it.

Another busy day today. I am hoping to catch up on my blog stalking and figure out how to get into these damned swimming lessons!
