I have 3 kids. I work in an office full time. I live in a place where we've had a lot of bad weather. I grew up with siblings. I have friends that were only children. I would find it hard to only have one child. I find parenting tough but fun. I had a mom who mostly read books. My children do not like staying inside for long periods of time. I have had bad weather recently. I like to be outside and active with my family.
I don't have kids. I only have a dad. I don't have siblings. I am a part time plumber. I used to play outside with my mum. I am not sure I would be able to cope if I had children. My mom passed away from breast cancer when I was six years old. I raise awareness and funds for a cure for breast cancer. I run a 5k per month.
How did you work up to running marathons? I started taking daily walks then within a week or so I started jogging. It just progressed from there over the next year.  Nice! Did you first start with your mom and eventually doing 5ks in mind or did that happen as a result? My mom and I would walk around the neighborhood at first. After I started running, I would still go for a walk with her in the evenings. I heard about the breast cancer run after she passed and felt it would be a nice way to honor her memory. And you have made so much money. That really is incredible! You inspired me to start walking a bit more. Sometimes the kids join me, but I really do love the solitude when I go alone. I'm not sure I could handle a walk with kids. What else do you guys do for outdoor fun? Riding bikes is their favorite thing. I join them sometimes, but I swear it is possible to forget how to ride a bike! hahaha Lol! I haven't been on a bike since I was 12. Are there nice areas to ride or have they been damaged by the recent bad weather? There are still some trees down, but most of the trails have been cleaned up, so that is nice. We were on a walk the other day and all my kids jumped over this fallen tree and it took me like 5 minutes to crawl over it while they TOOK PHOTOS OF ME!  Haha! I'm not sure there is any way to age gracefully. Did they post them anywhere? Makes me happy to hear you say that since you can do 5ks! They did not that I know of...better not have. Maybe you made the right call to not have kids. I kid...kinda. I'm sure seeing me run isn't the prettiest site in the world. As for kids, it wouldn't be a good decision to bring them into the world if I didn't feel I could be a good parent.
