So last week Saturday we got our running shoes ready and did the annual Pro-Life Walk. I do it almost every year and it seems like "just yesterday" that I was doing it with my three wee-ones in the triple stroller. Now they are all on bikes and another one in a stroller (and one in a tummy). It's a good thing to do, although I am sure the donation does more good than going on the walk. (I don't know if the organizers would agree with that statement)
I was counting on doing it solo as Gerard was going to work, but we went to bed a bit late (had company), and then once I woke up for a bathroom break I didn't get back to sleep, so he decided to help me out, and I am so glad he did. He ended up jogging the entire 5 km. to keep up with the ones on bikes, and I had a nice walk, not having to worry about them dodging cars or vice versa.
And at the end, there were hot dogs and donuts, so that 5 k.m. worth of calories that I pounded off came right back on, but I sure felt good knowing that I could still do it in a little over an hour, being not in the best of shape and pregnant.
