Fun Fun Fun in the Hot Hot Sun

Today, I was enthralled that my husband wanted to exercise and exert himself physically - he has a rather mentally taxing job and deals with a lot of bureaucratic loose ends.

So the girls and I headed out to run the annual Boise Women's Classic. Just a 5k. While I can't reason stealing the training time and three hours at random to go blow a hundred bucks on a marathon at his point in raising kids, a 5k, 10k, half seems achievable. And it's hot to boot. A quick hundred farenheight today.

Our finish time was (?), well who knows. I do know we stopped a few times because my eldest wants to run the race. And I will not push her to it nor discourage her. But in the heat, she enjoyed riding more than going on foot. And she got new manicured nails, do-dads on them, some whey ice cream, baby got a juicy orange and mama got to enjoy a change of pace. Raising kids means you slow down. So I like to #powerup!

The band was great! The crowd was fab and it was one of those days I ran into (literally) friends we have not seen in awhile. I love Boise, Idaho. Like all things, it is changing. But I hope it can hold out awhile until we are all mobile enough to find a nice expat colony, I can raise them up, we can be out of the military wholly (love it, but it is still a tie that binds!), and we moved here to weather the next economic storm - so can that hurry up already?

While I ran, no music, just thought about my walk with God, friends, family, the next race, SegWit, our budget, homeschool prep, the next year of mops and how badly I'm screaming inside to swim a couple miles, nap and finish the seven really great books on the nightstand.

Cheers from Boise. May you be blessed in this day!
