Thank you so much for the support and prayers from all of you!!!!!
Things are slowly getting back to a routine in the Cunningham house. slowly. The little ones were thrown WAY off schedule during our trip back home, and with school starting back again next week for the older kids (as well as for my husband and I) a new routine is getting set in place.
Summer is ending even though I don't want it to. I may be a weird mom for saying this, but I DO NOT enjoy it when the kids go back to school. I DO enjoy the fall sports though, and practice for football and soccer have been in full swing. My sons first game was a few days ago,
Since he missed 2 weeks of practice, he didn't get his jersey until the night before the game. turns out, he is the same # his papa Houston was when he played football-- #77---looks like the team and Bailey have one awesome guardian angel watching over, they won big! (and who knows, maybe Bailey will inherit papa Houston's nickname in the game--"Jukebox")
My daughters first soccer game is next week.
From now until the end October, we will pretty much be at the ball fields 4-5x per week.
Which is fine by me.
I enjoy it!
but I sure will miss the summer fun...
Now, as far as my athletic goals and such....
well ,I feel like I'm at stand still. missing 2 weeks of running and time in the gym is never a good thing, and I feel a little out of sorts trying to get back in the groove.
I have 3 races lined up for September, and I have to win every single one in order to bump my placing/score for a friendly competition between runners in this town. . the higher you place in a race, the higher your points earned are. the higher the points, the higher the score, and highest score wins. Out of all the runners in this area, I am 1/2 a point from being first place female, and the gal above me,she is about 20 seconds faster than me....
I know I have to step up my training.
I'm still trying work out a plan though.
I have an idea where to start as far as types of workouts. I am 12 weeks out from a half marathon, so that plan is already posted on my fridge. I just have to make some tweaks here in there that will compliment my secret mission training!
Finding a schedule for the little ones will be the challenge though.
Now that flu season is fast approaching, I really want to skip taking the kids with me all together and go back to pre dawn workouts!!!!I can always take the little ones in the double jogger for my longer runs as long as the weather is good....
I'll figure it out soon.
No choice in the matter if I expect to get my rear end faster for these upcoming races!!!!
now its time to get ready to run and spend the last weekend of "summer" with my kids before school starts up...
hope yall have safe and great weekend!!!!
