Kids Say ... (May and June 2020)

 More quotes and I apparently note to see pic which results in me digging for pictures. 

---------

Miles - "Mommy do you want to join me over here?"

On walk. 

“Are we going to keep doing this all day?”
Because this is my third walk in front of a propped camera to try to get framing. The camera fell over the 2nd time.

Miles "What about your phone?"

"You can't just leave it there"

-- what happens when you try to prop your phone to get video. (The walk is on and off sprinkling. They loved using umbrellas.

Miles: Mommy can you see yourself

Me. No. Well I can’t see my face but can see my legs. I need a mirror to see myself. 

Miles: I’ll go get a mirror. 

He runs to get one from the desk in his room where Ella has it. 

Me looking in mirror: OK Miles what did you want me to see
Miles: I wanted you to see how pretty and beautiful you are. 

Then Miles takes mirror and says “I’ll go put it back now.”

Yesterday I was playing Mario Kart with Miles.  He was behind but then you could see a couple people ahead of him in his screen. So I told him to try to pass them and get a better place. He then said come on mommy it's just for fun.  He didn't want me to be telling him stuff to do to make it better and just let him play nice.   I'm half asleep so doing a bad job explaining.  

But 12 or 1st he doesn't care. He has fun playing.

Almost every night Miles tells me “I hope you have a good night's sleep”

Earlier I went to the bathroom and left Liam with Dave on the bed. I didn't even take long but I hate Liam crawling up to and around the toilet. 

Well I came back. He was so happy. He hugged me so tight.

Ella: sometimes when I watch this show I cry

Me: Why

Ella: because I think about what if daddy dies

Creative galaxy.

After seeing pic of end of preschool that Ella wanted to be a teacher when she really up 

I just asked her.

"Ella what do you want to be when you grow up?

Ella said "nothing. Just a mom working at home"

Kids Say ... (Jan & Feb 2020)

Here are 2 months of very old quotes. I don't document nearly as much anymore but I have 2021 to catch up on.

---------

Every day I ask Miles his favorite and least favorite parts of school that day. Today he told me he didn’t have any favorite parts so then I asked him his least favorite part and he said that it was when he saw me and I came and picked him up—-so he didn’t want to leave.

Minutes after waking up, we walked downstairs.  Miles asked me if I would make him brownies 

And added

“You are an expert brownie maker”

Too bad I’m so sick

We head downstairs to make pancakes. I ask Miles what we need.

Miles: We need a pan. We forgot that the last time.   (see quote on 12/30)

1/20 

---------

Ella’s crying.  Says it won’t be good  and she will look like a douchebag 

Then Miles said she will look like a curtain 

(Post hair cut aftermath) -- these are my notes from over a year ago but I believe this is when Ella cut her own hair. Funny Miles described it as a curtain!

Good story. Miles asked me what happened to his ball bath bomb. I I said something like it disappeared and went down the drain or went in the water I forget my wording it wasn’t very good. Miles said "it dissolved yes that is what it did."

Apparently I already posted this but since I dug up the pictures and even looked at the voice memo to type something out I'll just post it again. I didn't notice since I only looked at the tag Ella says and you see she didn't say anything on here.

800 repeats (2/11/22)

Today I did half mile Repeats. The training plan only suggested this one other time. It was so hard in October and so hard today. The heat made it even worse today. I did not make my times. I didn't make it last time. This time I was really short on time so I kept looping near my house and cut the cooldown short when I just couldn't stay out any longer. I didn't get enough time to cooldown or stretch. Then I showered and immediately sat for a meeting for an hour. My muscles are not happy with me. I have been psyching myself out for my runs lately with my updated faster goals. Today and this week I've been so rushed I didn't even have time to psych myself out. I was mid run before I looked to see what my goals were. I had hand fulls of ice in my vest but I wish I had even more. That was some warm water I was drinking. 

The last 3 recovery splits I walked for 3 full minutes!! Maybe next time I will walk more earlier to not be so dead later. The very last split I felt like the wind was hitting me like crazy and I was not happy with it slowing my already slow body down. 

It was hot so I wore my vest so that I could drink more water but the vest makes me way sweatier.

I often do 4 minute repeats but for some reason that extra 30 seconds makes it harder  or maybe it's all mental that I don't know when it'll be done. 

I attached 10/19/21 splits too for fun.

(Ooops I forgot to post this!)

 

1SE January 2022

 Here's 1 Second Everyday for January 2022. I took fewer videos than I thought. 

Speed Repeats (6x1 6x0:30)

 I have done the same workout 3 times. I previously did a post with speed workouts. 

Today I had even faster goal times since I changed my race goal so all training run goals have become faster. I thought there was no way I'd hit the 30 second goal times. 

I'm not as shocked that my 1 min repeats were fast. I am shocked that they were ALL too fast.  I'm surprised only 1 of the 30 second repeats was too slow. I'm shocked how many were way too fast though.  Half of them were 30 seconds too fast. 

Octover 8 was the first time I did this exact workout and then January 4 was the second time I did it. 

I'm actually surprised how much improvement I've had.  All intervals had a 1 minute recovery. Every time I walk a bit of that and jog the rest. 

Days of the week - Run

It's only February 1 and most of my charts aren't as useful to look at this early in the year.  I really like looking at my day of the week chart though. 

I always do my long run on the weekend. The rest is just interesting to see.  Sunday is mostly my long run so it makes sense that Monday is mostly my day off. I was surprised at Thursday. 

I also included 2021.  The average run length is low because I had so many short runs in January when I did a 10 day run streak and then they were short for about a month after my surgery in the summer.  Sunday is mostly my long run day so then Saturday I had the fewest number of runs.  

Exercise Goals - January

I hit all my exercise goals in January. It was tough. The goals are probably a little high based on how much I have to keep doing. 

As you can see I added 3 new things to track for 2022.
