Gigi's Knees!

This guest blogging thing is getting to be kinda fun!  Today's submission is from my mom, who helped me out yesterday afternoon by taking my kids to the track while I did my workout.  It was a warm day, so before they came over to the track, she had to change out of her work clothes.

From Gigi:

I quickly changed from pants into shorts, this afternoon, to go over to the track with Lexi and Zach.  Zach took a look at my legs, looked alarmed,  and said:  "What is those?  Is those your knees?"

I said "Yes".

Looking concerned, and quite disappointed, he asked:  "Why?"

Despite the killer workout I had, it was probably the most fun I've ever had at track.  Both kids (but especially Lexi) cheered for me non-stop.  Part of the rest was a jog along the bleachers.  Towards the end of the workout my jog started out as a walk so I could catch my breath.  Lexi ran up to me and walked along saying, "Mama, why are you walking??"  I told her that I was very tired.  She said, "But Mommy, I know you can do it!  You just have to start running again and I'm sure you can win the race.  You can do it, Mommy!"  She inspired me so I picked it up to a slow shuffle.  She said, "Great job, Mom!!"  and running along beside me, "I'm right here with you Mom, you're doing great!!"  What an awesome little cheerleader!
