Well we went again to my MIL's place to use the treadmill. I went first and did 20 minutes varying in speeds up to 4.0. Then Julie did it for 10 minutes or so before she had to leave for ballet. Then Tyler did it for 20 minutes, then it was my turn again. I did another 20 minutes varying in speeds up to 4.0. I told Tyler I wanted him to do at least another 15 minutes, he could do any speed he wanted. Well he made my 40 minutes look like I walked at turtle speed. He did 45 minutes!!! Did a bunch at an incline of 10 and did a little bit at 7.0. Seriously 7.0? I was shown up by a 10 year old, and he told me so too. "Mom, I worked harder then you!" He sure did, he made me look like a sissy, but it made him feel good, and he was proud. We had Pandora radio going the whole time. I can't even imagine how sore he's going to be tomorrow.
He's off to his Grandpa Moses's house tomorrow, but first he has a follow up doctors appointment for his ears, and a haircut. He says he tired of his hair in his eyes, and that with his glasses it's a pain. Now all I can hope for him for the weekend, is that he'll make healthy choices with what he eats, and he does more then just sit around. We start again on Tuesday with the treadmill, since he doesn't have school, we can go when he wants. He's saying he wants to go Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I'm not sure I can keep up with him. He might have a little extra weight on him, but he can run circles around me. I wonder if that has anything to do with age. He's also very excited that he might actually be in shape when soccer starts. Working out has helped his self confidence leaps and bounds, now to work on keeping him motivated.
