neglectful parents?

Each day, we try to enjoy our new lives as parents, while still maintaining pieces of the old lives we loved so much.  Sprints were our most recent challenge.  We didn't have anyone super handy who could sit with Gordy on the beach, so we had to make a few adjustments... We left him in his car seat all warm and snug, bundled him up with blankets to protect him from the wind, tied a blanket overtop of the car seat to protect him from the sun, and found a good spot to park him in the sand.  We selected the spot to be:

1. Makai of where we were running so that if anyone were to nab him, we were most likely to see it and chase them down before they made it to the bushes.

2. In between our start and finish lines, but closer to our start line, so we would have the best chance of hearing him if he were to stir.

Instead of doing a warm up jog from Ehukai to Rock Piles and back, we shortened our distance and ran back and forth in front of Gordy's spot.

In the end, it seems like we did well because Gordy slept through the whole thing, and we got our sprints in uninterrupted.
