i could walk 500 miles.......

actually, i walked three, but a mile and a half of it included carrying my little girl up the hill in west rutland to get back to the church.

we had the kosta walk for hunger yesterday after mass. noah is required to walk it, and toby could if he wanted to. amelia was going to stay with todd - that was the plan......BUT, mimi decided she was NOT going to stay with daddy.

we left church, and toby made it to the west rutland high school before he called todd. on the phone he was telling todd, "i could do it when i was a kid, but i can't do it now!" amelia hates her stroller, but she was doing good so i kept walking when todd picked toby up by the west rutland library. we turned by the cash market to start walking back to church and got to the town hall when amelia decided that she had enough.

called todd because the plan was to call if any of the kids needed a lift. where was he? on his way to the mobil station in center rutland to get toby a bagel!!!! i told him not to bother because by the time he got back i would nearly be back at the church. i was by the legion when he called, and i hung up on him. i was nearly done - for him to take her then would not have been worth it.

i carried her the rest of the way, and i couldn't breathe anymore when i got to the top of the hill. i felt like i was having an asthma attack! it was very scary. i know i am not in the best shape, but usually doing hills doesn't hit me like it did then.

needless to say, i spent most of the day yesterday not speaking to him. all is good today though. just a bit sore. no other side effects.

so, although i COULD walk 500 miles, i will stick with the three that i completed and call it a day!
