The boys and I treated Tina to an elegant lunch at Today's Pizza then they went to a friends house which gave Tina and me a little time to get out together. Tina recently purchased a new pair of running shoes and we have established a goal for her to run her first 5K. Today we began training. This week we are running 2 minute intervals: 2 minutes running followed by 1 minute walking. We repeated this 10 times for a total of 20 minutes of running. We'll do this for a week then progress to 3 minutes running, with 1 minute of rest.
After the boys got home, and we had supper, Kyler, Tristan and I went out to visit my mom's grave. It was rainy and cold, but we took a picture to commemorate the event. It occurred to me on the way home that this year marks the time whereby I have spent as many years of my life without my mother as I had spent with her - 23 years.
Happy Mother's Day and Happy Birthday Mom.
(My boys can never take a picture without making some kind of goofy face, or striking some weird pose. I know my mother would have loved their sense of humor)
