I am so relieved that the party is over. It can reasonably called a success. We didn't have as many people as last time, but we had nearly as many, and considering all the little things that went wrong in preparation, I am satisified. I learned a lot of what "not" to do. All in all, the kiddoes had fun, and that is what really matters.
When we got home, the kids and I took the bike and the trailer out for a spin. In the words of my granny "My Grab." Oh, don't get me wrong, it feels great to be riding a bike again. But pulling that trailer up a hill really takes it out of me. I challenged myself to go just a little farther than I was physically comfortable with, and I will keep it up. I want to keep it up! By the end of this summer, I will be biking all over New Cumberland!
I went through something similar after Livvy was born. I was in bad shape, and I knew it. I decided to start walking. I literally had to force myself to walk out ten minutes, then walk the ten minutes back. I know that sounds horrible. But now I can walk for hours without feeling it at all. It's that freedom that comes on the other side of perseverance. I will get that with my bike!!

Rachel,
Thanks so much for telling us about the party! The kids had a blast! Congrats on working out! Girl, you must be exhausted after hauling two kids & biking. Keep on persevering! I've been out of shape for years and decided to do something about it this year.I'm walking a 1/2 marathon in September so I'm training for it. If you want a free exercise ticker to help keep track of your walking/biking, etc. you can go to www.tickerfactory.com
It's really helped me stay focused.
I had forgotten granny used to say that...
