| It was a gorgeous setting that provided some pretty steep hills |
He exercises very hard every. single. day. and my goal is
to be his female equivalent when it comes to keeping up…but never while on
vacation, in Europe!!!
Needless to say, I was a good sport on several occasions, especially
when I felt the baguettes and croissants beginning to creep up around the problem
areas.
I agreed to workout and give it my best since, after all,
our goal is to inspire Benny to be a physically active boy—by example.
In Zurich we had a mega workout that started with a 5-mile
run through hills and woods and ended with a 200+ stair climb. Running through
the woods was kinda’ eerie. There was a kind of tension in the air that we
couldn’t figure out. Almost as if someone was running behind us. I seriously get
the chills just thinking about it.
Once we got done with our workouts, we spoke with locals
who were curious about why he had chosen that area as a running location.
“It’s a cemetery,” they told us.

| There were rows upon rows of trees and a very deep silence all around |
 |
| The faster he ran, the more I pushed to stay close! |
 |
| Benny was happy all along! |
 |
| This tower made my legs sore for weeks |
 |
| I never thougt I'd reach the top |
 |
| But I finally did!! |

A mi
esposo no le gustan las excusas si se trata de hacer ejercicio.
Él practica
entrenamientos físicos diariamente con mucha intensidad. Mi meta es de algún día
alcanzarlo y ¡aguantar el ritmo!…pero siempre y cuando no estemos de vacaciones
en Europa, ¿me entienden?
Sin
embargo en un par de ocasiones estando allá, decidí ser flexible y acompañarlo a
correr y sudar la gota gorda, sobre todo porque ya sentía que los baguettes y
los cuernitos de mantequilla empezaban a marcar su presencia en mi figura.
Ademas, prometí
dar mi mejor esfuerzo porque nuestra meta como padres es de ser un buen ejemplo
para Benny e inculcarle la importancia del atletismo.
En Zúrich
nos sometimos a un plan de ejercicios que consistió en una corrida de 5 millas
por un bosque y que terminó en una torre altísima, donde subimos más de 200
escalones.
Cuando
corrimos por el bosque, sentimos un aire tenso, que daba un poco de miedo. Sentíamos
como que una energía extraña nos seguía. De veras que nada más de acordarme se
me enchina la piel.
Al
terminar, hablamos con algunos residentes locales que no entendían porque habíamos
elegido ese bosque para hacer ejercicio.
“Es un
cementerio,” dijeron.
