Being outdoors is clearly not something I do every day. Sadly the only outdoors I see is my walk from my house to my car, and from my car to Rarick hall. This morning, after tossing and turning all night, I got out of bed at 6 am- what elderly people do at 6 am when they wake up is beyond me, because I found nothing to do. Bored, I decided to go for a run. I'd like to state that exerting energy in physical activity is something I haven't done since before Jaci was born. There just isn't a time when you are a single mommy. So I start running....and about 15 minutes later I have to stop running.
"FIFTEEN MINUTES? That's all I've got in me?" I thought. WOW, I am out of shape. So it's been decided today through much contemplation in my own head that I need to get into shape. How do you do that though when you have a daughter? DUHHHH!! You do the activities with her! Jaci and I went on a nature walk today at Frontier Park.

I realized today that I don't have to take time away from Jaci to do a little physical activity, but I can involve her and we can do it together. After all, kids need to be outdoors. So, Jaci and I walked over to Old Fort Hays and she was so excited to run around! She was super bummed that all the historical houses were locked so I promised her this week that we would go some time. I showed her the buffalo too. She wasn't as impressed with them because I was 'wrong' they were papa's COWS and not BUFFALO! Too cute.
