I got two letters from Army Son today. It was so great! He sounds so positive and upbeat. It just made my day. In my last letter to him, I included photographs of his favorite tv shows that he is missing.
One of which is Survivor.
He wrote in one of the letters, "I am Survivor ready. Well, at least by the time I get done I will be!" I knew that I had to kick it into high gear if I am going to be able to handle HIS workout. He has already sent me a list of things he has to do for exercise.
Soon I may lose my title as the Fittest Family Member!
I might be more proud of him for taking over my reign than I would be upset for having lost it!
But the challenge he threw down did cause me to run a crazy 15 miles on the treadmill. I have a scheduled outside long run on Sunday but I still pounded out 15 on the treadmill today. Which took me to 60 miles for the week. Can we say too competitive? I think I might be regretting that when I am 10 miles from the house tomorrow and wanting a short cut home that does not exist!
You are amazing in your workouts!! Thats good news that your son is in good spirits and I love that you two have a bit of competition going. Sounds fun! I look forward to those days with my boys :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again enjoyed reading your blog!
Must be so nice to know your son is doing well and feeling proud! Great job trying not to get too far behind ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing! I'm glad you could get a letter from your son. It's cool that you two could have something like exercise to bond over. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for letters! So glad your son is doing well!
ReplyDelete60 miles for the week?!? the WEEK?!?! I don't even think I will have run that far for the entire month.
ReplyDeleteGlad he's doing well, but HOLY COW are you running a lot!!! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteAww that's so great you got letters! Glad to hear he's doing well!!
ReplyDeleteAww! I'm so happy you heard from your son!! It sounds like its kinda fun competing with him for exercise!! I'm glad to hear he is okay!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm am so glad the letters came and your son is sounding well! I know that is a huge lift for you!!! I ran 19 on the treadmill yesterday and my hips are killing me. NO more long treadmill runs for me...but there was some chick there that ran 35 miles and looked incredible at mile 35. I thought about you and all your treadmill miles and have to say I admire you so much for all your dedication!! Hope your long run goes well. xo
ReplyDeletei just got the chills...i can't imagine how special those letters from him must be. i'm glad he's doing well.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that your son is doing well! Fight hard for that "most fit" title, you'll have to challenge him when he gets back! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a nice letter. My BF's bro just joined the Airforce and his letter was not so upbeat.
ReplyDeleteYour workouts have been AMAZING!! So stinkin fast.
