Curtis described to Josh and I yesterday his experience of being on the treadmill next to Griffy when he did his 20 minute sprint. We were ROFL. Curtis chugging along at his 4mph walking pace and Griffy all spry trotting out at 5 mph. He also said that after doing 1/2 hour on the treadmill and 1/2 hour on the cross trainer that they did an additional 15 minutes on bikes!! Curtis must be feeling challenged! so cute. Griff did say he was a bit sore yesterday--which means he did work it on that jog!
Yesterday I finked out and only walked 1/2 hour with Griff. It was windy and I wasn't in the mood to be yanked around. But we had a good walk with good conversation.
I am...surprised and pleased at how this experiment is bringing our family closer. We have a common goal and we're exercising together and this causes conversation and golly it's actually magical.
I mentioned to Griff yesterday that he was welcome to bring home his friends after school, however they will need to work out with him/us. That I have to pick up Josh at 7:00 so we'd be leaving the house to go the the gym at 5:30. He said, "we are going to be doing this even after school starts?"
I said, "yes, we have 200 pounds to loose as a family." He seemed...unspokenly pleased.
I do miss roaming the mountains by myself. I miss my nature time. Even when I go with Griff there is the distraction of another person.
Went with Dee to watch a late showing of "Julie & Julia" last night....totally inspiring.
