Thursday Already?

Having Monday off from work has made this week fly by!  The weekend is already almost here! The best part is, I don't have any plans.  It seems like we have been so busy, but now I think we will be settling into our summer "routine". 

My friend Megan was here last weekend and we had such a good time.  You know you have a good friend when you only see each other once a year, but it feels like no time has passed at all when you're together. 

I was glad she was able to come.  I get friendsick sometimes, and this definitely helped.  I did quickly realize though that we are NOT used to having a little one running around our house.  Megan's little girl, Tanner is 15 months.  How quickly you forget!!  She and Aidyn still had fun together and Tanner was a pretty good trooper even though she was totally taken off her schedule for the weekend and thrown into our crazy non-scheduled life.  Megan, I hope this week hasn't been too traumatic getting things back to normal at home.  :)

Tanner Stewart



Tanner and Aidyn - Aidyn decided to wear the same outfit as Tanner, so they could be "twins" for the day. 

On Saturday, we hit up the Farmer's Market and then The Toy Store downtown.  We even managed to catch a small parade going through downtown. 
  

On Sunday we headed to KC for Jiggle Jam.  We got there in time to see Choo Choo Soul, which is a little 5 min. mini show on the Disney channel that comes on in between the 30 min shows.  I think their songs are a lot of fun.  Aidyn was done with it after about 3 songs.  It was a fun day, but it totally wore the kids out, which totally wore the adults out. 

On Monday, after getting Megan and Tanner off to the airport in the morning, Aidyn and I braved a crazy windy day and did a little Memorial Day Sale shopping.  I bought her a new bathing suit so we can start hitting the pool after work and I bought her a new pair of running shoes.  Our community free fitness program starts up next Monday evening, so I needed to get Aidyn excited to go and run every night.

I'm still not sure if I will be running or if I'll have to ease myself into it.  The physical therapist I'm seeing doesn't seem to think I should be doing anything at all, but I don't know if I totally agree.  My feet have been feeling better, but I also have not been doing any exercising.  How do I know if they are getting any better if I don't test them out a little bit here and there?  I'm not saying I'm going to start marathon training again, but I think I should at least be taking a jog once in a while.  It turns out the therapist and I don't see eye to eye on everything, so I'm not sure what to do.  He told me the other day that running was a finite sport and that everyone should stop doing it eventually.  He himself can't be a whole lot older than me, but he is certain his running days are numbered to the next few years.  To me that sounds crazy.  I think if you take care of yourself and it's still something you love to do, then why not?  I know tons of people that are a lot older than me and can (and do) kick my ass in races.  I'm going to keep going to see him, but I hope he doesn't try to end my running career for me. 

With that, it's time for bed.  It's pancake day at school in the morning, which means I can't be late!  The natives get restless when I'm late on pancake day.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
