Picture of one of those- guess which??
This is the Strider Balance Bike- google them, they have a great website with video on the philosophy behind the bike (no pedals, etc.). G has quickly progressed in his ability to smoothly speed around on this thing. He has yet to trust himself and put his feet up on the little ledges to go down a hill but I can see it coming soon!
My new job is going well; pretty slow right now while I am awaiting orientation next week. I am now a part of a home care team for my local Hospice organization. It's a pretty neat concept to have a Chaplain as part of the team, whereas in most of my past employment positions- you'd better keep spirituality and "religion" out of the work place. Complete opposite with Hospice.
Half-marathon training (eww my favorite): finally broke the 7 mile mental block I had going on- hooray. I have a month left until race day 2/19. I am still not stoked about the decision to do this but- I am committed. I am AGAIN dealing with what I think might be a Morton's neuroma in both feet but predominately in the right foot. Just purchased some great new running shoes (on sale- score!) but feet still burning on ball of my foot, toes going numb and shooting pain like my bone is hitting the pavement with no padding----ouch, right?!
We'll see what happens- might have to make an appointment with a podiatrist before its' all said and done. Have YOU ever dealt with this issue? What did you do? It doesn't occur for me when I am NOT training for long-distance running.
Food: made this just Wednesday night so we could heat it up in a jiffy Thursday (oh how good it feels to prepare a meal ahead of time!)- and it was YUM! The toddler didn't eat it- no new news there. He had some pastina and steamed broccoli on the side that he ate.
We didn't have the swiss cheese; we had white american cheese which I substituted and it was YUM!
Lastly, 5QF (Five Question Friday) from THIS BLOG.
1.Where do you hide the reeeally good snacks?
Behind stuff in the pantry.
2. Do u
keep your vehicle clean or am I the only one who has things falling out of their
van?
Somewhere in between the two. Definitely have to keep up with regular "purgings" or I will have stuff falling out.
3. Have
you ever been to Vegas?
Nope. But I have been to Hawaii which to me is the real jackpot- I don't need to waste my money on slots in the desert.
4. Warm room light blankets or cold room warm snuggly
blanket?
By default my room is one of the coldest in our house (wood floors/old windows) so it is "cold room and warm blanket and clothing.
5. What is the worst airplane/flying experience you've
ever had?
Have a great weekend!
