The run was call the Jackal trail and so the kids was worried the whole time the that Jackal have catch mommy!! sorry kids its not the Jackal its the slow mommy!!

 

this is how our feet look like...donkey feet!!

Here the super cool dwarf arrive

 

Look at this cool cowgirl

Hi Ho Hi HO... off to work we go

 

 

Nika enjoy everysec of it, her partner did not pitch but  she did  not have a care about it,,,,, I suppose show must go on!

 

 

 

2016 are nearly finish which leave me with this  “ I-still-need-to-do-something-this-year-which-I never-done-before”  

 

So what have I never done before??????

 

 

Trail running???? Yes let’s do this !!

 

I have not been running for the last few years…………. I only swim for a year now, which leave me feeling like Olympic swimmer and the body looking like…. A couch potato!! But after years of infertility drugs force into this fuck up body leave me looking more like a blowfish….so may be after a few years of swimming I will see the before IF body again! I hope so!

 

Okay three weeks ago I start walk-run 2 – 3 km on my treadmill 2 x a week!! I wanted to do a 8 km trail….  I have this funny my-own-training-programs. If I can run-walk 3km then I just need to do it 3 x over and I get discount of 1 km, this I how my head works. ( the not normal-average-mind)

 

The week before the race I did not run cause if you do the Comrades marathon you need to rest your body……so I rest! How the hell you compare 8km to 100km still buff my brain but its me.

 

Saturday 22 I enter the HILL Challenge trail run…very excited to get a goodie bag( I am a freebee lover)  and off we go….after 300metres I wonder why did I do this. We hit a hill after 800m which I walk up cause it’s too steep and walk down cause I don’t want to slide done….. and then before 2km this next…not hill dam mountain was rising upfront! At this stage more walking than running for this girla!.

And it feel just like infertility with this huge walls that want to break your spirit!! And its then when this fighting in me for YOU-WILL-NOT-GET-ME-UNDER-HILLS I will do this kick in.

I put some speed in and my head down and run and if walk it was speed walk.

I feel so strong with no pain in my Knee and ankles which are always the problem and I finish with a great time feeling like a hero!!!!

 

I know this sound like bragging but I am so dam impress with myself!!! It did my spirit so GOOD seeing you can do things which sound like something out of your reach!!!!

 

 

Funny how you think each month…this month you will have more time on hands…just to get less done.

It always feel like I don’t do anything, but when I look back.. I have been doing stuff all the way all the day.

 

I am doing Aqua classes for just over a year now!! Yes three times a week, early before anyone wakes in this house. It’s a huge knock on the shoulders for me, the one who are not n morning person. Throughout winter in storm and rain and icy temperatures I was in that pool giving my best. And boy I feel great !!! and  two weeks ago I start running again… cause I need to do something I never done before for the year ( I am doing this things for years now) so I am going a trail run soon!!  I suppose I will be last and near dead, but this mamma neat to get her ass up!

My photo books are not near finish….

 

But exciting stuff are on the way……

 

I took a dear friend for her bday for a outing....surprise something...Horse riding. We both can not ride a horse...this is me, dam scared!

 

 

my friend in the back. It was such a great day! horse back safari on a game reserve. We have so such laughter. My horse was half dead I think, but this is what happen of you tell the guide . please give me the most tame horse. He did not hear tame but lame...

 

 

the horses only walk all the way, but we do look impressive!

 

The miracle twins turn 5!!!!!!!!!! I can not believe its 5!!!!! after 10 freaking long years of IF I have 5 years of kids which feel like 6 months!!! just show you bad things feel forever and good thing like a flash!!

When the kids was 2 years old I was caught up in this only baby-all-day I join the photography group in town. I love photos but the main reason for joining was..... to go and sit one night a month to have me time!!

Monthly they have a theme and you have to send in 3 pics each month. Yes you do get the whole years theme in the beginning of the year, so its actually dam easy just go and take your camera and shoot....

but after 3 years now I just don't get time to shoot the dam theme. I receive the email... Remember your photos must be in  tonight ( usually a Sunday night)... then I go into over drive!! cause what if everyone is like me and don't send there pics they will not be a club.

So then I crap the camera run off don't have a clue on which setting my camera must be. If I want to press my camera one of the twins are in the pic, yelling at them to get lost helps for 2 seconds. If I lay down for a better angle they jump op top of me so yes how the hell I got my pics in are crazy and I think its very bad photos that got send at the end...

but one day it will all go better... at least once a month I got my me-time and the club laughing at my photos.

this months theme was an "open " one, so anything goes. This was what I did. Maybe the more arty angle will help. Luv think its ridiculous and I think so too but I have had 15 min before sending time

 

yes the two big rabbits are in most of the photos!! the reason my pic look shit

 

 

 

and then after downloading I need one more so running upstairs throw the 100 and 1000 in n bowl with one of the kids toys for light put the bed light on it.... its one of photos big NO NO cause it made n yellow light but I only click it after pressing the send button!!
