Today my dad had offered to have the children for an hour then promptly went out leaving my mum to have them! It seemed like freedom gave me wings as I was very surprised that my Garmin kept telling me I was going under 6 minutes per kilometre to start with. Needless to say I couldn't keep this up but it was my fastest run for a long time:
Strava had a wobbly over a run I recorded via iPhone a while back so this was actually my fastest mile and 2nd fastest kilometre! I just have to hope that I can replicate these times and improve on them next week.
We're enjoying the more laid back half-term too, despite the weather having other ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you and your Son enjoying running together. I can't wait until my two are older...maybe one or both of them would like to join me too :) It would be a bit of a family event come race day though, as both my Mum & little Brother run and my Sister-in-Law & Mother-in-Law have just started!! :D
Lovely reasons, so nice not to have school runs for a week. Good luck with the run :)
ReplyDeleteFirstly........I LOVE that video!! haha
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like being Jo for June! lol xx
Glad you enjoyed both!

ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful! I love owls and I love and owl encounter :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks like fun! I do like that your daughter had great plans for a shed like den :) #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful owls, love the photo of you daughter stroking Star x
ReplyDeleteDens are so much fun. The camouflage sheet looks perfect. Even better for being easy to put up. My children raid my bean pole store to make dens whenever they can. Here's to more good den-making weather, this summer!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous to get up close with an owl. Love the idea that you can go shopping and met an owl. Brilliant. #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteI must get some lightweight tarpaulins for just this! My kiddies love tent building and this would occupy them for a day in the garden. Nice looking meatballs :)
ReplyDeleteI love owls - we hear them around here at night and the boys got to hold them on a recent trip back to the UK.
ReplyDeleteI love that you can walk to the shops and meet some owls! I've always foung them so interesting, they look so inquisitve. #countrykids
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fab little den, nothing better than a summerish day in the garden making dens :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice camouflage sheet and ideal for a quick den building solution! Our children find half the fun of making a den is scavenging (taking my supplies) around to make them. Here's to more sunshine and time spent outdoors having fun. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great opportunity to get up close to this beautiful birds - not what you expect to come across at the shops. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteAh this looks so fun! We built our first den this week with our nearly 2 year old. Here's to many more years of den making! #countrykids
