Mountain Kid 1 and I are embarking on a different kind of training this summer. This upcoming school year, she’ll be old enough to participate in school sports. So we’re getting ready for fall cross-country season. I’ve put the zombie apocalypse training to a different course, concentrating more on running.

Instead of detailing our training plan, it may be easier for me to show you through photos.

Both of us representing Team RWB out in the rural area near our home. We have a lot of runners in the area. And tractors.
We started with playing at the beach and watching Wonder Woman. We’ve agreed to both be Amazon warriors when we grow up. But we live with men/boys.
Our first run was finished with a trip to the playgroun. I got her a Milestone Pod, which shows she’s a more efficient runner than I am. That’s why she’s fast.
We donate money through Charity Miles through the USO. Next month, we’ll choose a different charity.
We always find new things, like this baby toad.
We also went canoeing to work on our upper body strength a little. I’ve found that a good core and strong arms won’t fatigue as easily as a weak upper body.
