As all 6 of us snuggled in bed this morning, Noah jumped out of bed and said:
"C'mon Mum, we can run up that Mt Buningyong hill! Don't be scared!"
The belief in his eyes and passion made me bounce outta bed, put my running shoes on and go for this run!
Mountain Buninyong...elevation 719 metres above sea level.

| Mount Buninyong is a hill overlooking Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. Formed from an extinct volcano. |
We only managed to run a 5.5km course however I was super proud of Noah as he only stopped when we had to take these photos. Of course to show you all!!!!

Seriously amazing stuff, the views were amazing and I was super proud of Noah as he also had his soccer game this morning and I thought this would completely exhaust him. But no! He was super charged! Said he was going to smash this mountain, and he did!!!
I must admit, I didn't want to do this run. I even sent a sms to our running trainer to say I'd give it a miss. Why? I drove the car up the mountain yesterday and I got scared! Yup! I didn't think I was built for something this extreme, so best I don't attempt it at all. Especially when I'm not a real runner and haven't ran since Run Ballarat (although I do think I did a 3km run?). Anyways, I didn't think I had enough training or prep work to get me up this hill! So I got discouraged and thought best I set some smaller goals......and do the Mt some other time.
But no! Thanks to my little champion Noah, he ENCOURAGED me do this run and for that I am truly grateful. I love you honey.

How gorgeous is your son's encouragement! That's fantastic that he joined you on the run as well, what a special moment, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI know Louise, he took my breath away! Literally! He was bouncing around running and saying C'mon Mama! I told him to pace himself as we had a very very long run to do. I was really surprised with his energy, I know if our 5yo came he would've stopped after 500 metres!!!! Thanks so much for posting your comments, they mean the world to me. I feel like you are there when I write, so thank you soooo much Louise xxDani
DeleteI'm lucky to get my 10 year old to walk around the block! Go Noah!!!
ReplyDeleteI know Celeste! I seriously thought he would just walk it as I was under the same impression with my fitness. However the mind is a powerful force and when united with like minded people, together you can achieve anything. Noah is truly my hero!!! If it was Oscar, he wouldn't have survived the first 100 steps!!!! XxDani
