thankful#73: the track out back

This time I mean literally. We lucked out when we were assigned this particular apartment in this complex. Our back yard IS the track. We walk out our back door and the track is probably 10 yards away. I never have a problem finding motivation for a run if I just look out our winder – if the 85-year-old man who is out there running his daily 5-miler can do it, I can at least get out and do SOMETHING. It’s definitely fun to people-watch, but it’s also a great kick in the butt. We’ve also been able to watch a few Olympians do various workouts, which is inspiring to say the last! The girls enjoy watching Kevin or me run intervals and will sit at the fence (or at the window if it’s  pouring) and cheer us on. We wouldn’t have that if we were in any other section of this complex! It also gives us a convenient way to get out some of the girls’ extra energy. They love running.

This video is from last December, so just over a year ago. Kinsley is quite a bit bigger now, and rather than being a little grub in my arms, dagny is now out there with her running her little heart out.



Kyra took video a couple of months ago when she visited of the two of them running – I’ll post it when I get it uploaded.

We love our track.
