So Adam has accepted the challenge and did his first run and completed the first Kilometers of the 50K/ Month Challenge, awesome job buddy ! ! !

He did a run of a little over 17K so he is already 1/3 on his way. If this continues, I see him finish this Challenge next week ...... which is okay, as it is only a “let's finish 50K in a month. But if it looks like it is too easy, well for him it is, we may have to bump it up to 100K, not a promiss, not a challenge....... Y E T ! ! !

So today, I went with my biking son out for my second round. My son was setting the pace, we were staying together but before I knew it I was looking at his back.... from a distance ! ! !

I was not the only one running with family, so that was nice to see ! !

Where I asked Adam to share a picture of a waving runner, this was a bad day to return the favor. I tried, but only managed to have non-runners in front of the camera, ...... at least something.

I did not have the greatest run but at least I made it out there. I do want to have at least half the kilometers by next week, should not be a problem. Maybe this month we need to run only 50K , to warm up for next month: 100K, we will see.

So this is what I have behind me:

As you can see I have 27.7K on the counter, I have to subtract 12.94K, let's say 13K, so I ran 14.7K .... 35.3K to go. This weekend I definitely want to run 1 more run, but NOW:

IT IS UP TO ADAM, GOOD LUCK BUDDY ! ! !

If you are a Coil subscriber that you are able to see the animals I ran into during my run ..... and it is not normal to see these animals in the Netherlands ! ! !

Important one, as this is the final bag of Book Number 3. More details, finishing whole section ! ! ! We still have 2 parts, the castle and the grounds we are working on right now. We believe, Noah told me, that this may also be Diagon Alley, the street where Harry buys all his wizardry stuff and where he got Hedwig, Harry's Owl. It of course also includes the three tasks to get passed Fluffy. So interesting to see it captures different parts of the movie.

We had to create little rooms, really nice. Noah was already talking about little wizards walking around, talking with each other, playing with each other ..... oh please, stay this innocent little man,

please ! ! !

In the book it shows like this:

And on the bottom it says with a picture ..... now go to book number 4 ! ! !

The castle looks awesome , looks like this:

The flying keys

The chess game

The mirror of Erised Scene ( Harry saw his parents in it)

Wizardry shops ! ! !

More cauldrons and stuff

And that is the ending of book 3, 75%

done ! ! !

And that ........ is the last book ! ! !

Time for bag 28, 10 to go; can’t believe we already did 27 bags ! ! !

We had to include stuff from the chamber of secrets, more details:

Getting more little corridors, details, lights, part of walls showing , it is all amazing stuff

The shops are finishing up nicely ! ! !

The front is important, but the bag is also taken care of ... All details are in:

I am not sure if I already highlighted it, but the vines Ron, Hermione and Harry are sliding through getting the the philosopher's stone are also highlighted:

This pretty much finishes Bag 28. Now it is time for School.

Interesting topic today, which will be shared for the Coil Subscribers, which I am very happy with, thank you

Yesterday I was reading AussieNinja's (@CryptoAdam4) Blog, his Training for Ninja Warrior and read he was using the Nike Challenge App. Well, I use that App also, I want to do something, he NEEDS to do things, so I challenged him to do the: April 50K Challenge ! ! ! We started following each other via the app and now we can see how much we both run. So as of today, we need to run 50K in the month of April.

Giving a heads up: This BLOG contains BLOOD ...... for the Coil subscriber ! ! !

I already started with the challenge so mine says 12.94K already, so I need to run till I see 62,94K in the month of April. It is a challenge but it is a fun challenge:

1. Getting through the Quarantine with this fun challenge
2. Loosing weight
3. Having fun
4. Combine efforts writing Coil Blogs
5. Be different

Probably Adam has more pointers but these are mine ! ! !

So this morning I rally had the spirit to start, thank you for challenging me Adam, but it were also the droopy eyes beside me, daddy can I cycle with you ? ? ?

We left this morning at 08:53, 9 Degrees Celsius, Noah by bike and I was running. I just wanted to run at least 5, 6 kilometers, but also wanted to enjoy the weather and look around. I also needed to be the responsonsible dad, because, although he knows how to bike, Noah is only 4.5 years old ... and not the only person on the road. So, I had to watch him.

We first went through the forrest and I felt really good. Just ran on and went through nice scenery. The sun does well also, but nature, all the animals, it made me smile.

Some pics of the run:

Running through the forrest, amazing ! ! !

Storks sitting on their nest. The stork you see here have used this nest for over 10 years. In our area this bird is very protected and helped to have a great life ! ! !

The Swan sitting on a nest. Saw this one in the weekend, so knew I had to run here to take a picture. Majestic bird, but be aware, they are dangerous, can attack and in a case of an attack,

THEY ARE BIG ! ! !

A nice fountain at a nice lake. Really pitoresque ! ! !

My great follower. Love his dedication, he loves to bike ! ! !

A big frog on the middle of the road, had to shoot his picture

Noah saw his teacher and his class mates. He wanted to go in, but that is .......... a big no no ! ! !

It was a lot of fun. Parts I ran on the pavement and Noah on the road, then I moved to the road and to the pavement. Lot of laughing, lots of smiling. At the end of the run, we went by Noah's school to wave at his teacher and the kids that are allowed to go to school because both parents have critical jobs. It was fun and I tell you the kids miss each other a lot ! ! !

So here come the race details:

This is the screen I started with before the race:

This is how it looks NOW:

So, the first 7.73 K is in the pocket. Now it is Adam, who needs to run. I give him 1 TASK to do why he is running. He needs to take one pic of another runner that is waving to him .... Good luck Adam, go go go

For the Coil Subscriber, some more details about the run AND some BLOOD ! ! !

We got three weeks behind us, now it is time to finish the fourth week. The time is really flying. We have a project and that takes a lot of time.

This morning was up early rise and shine. We had a good breakfast. Always good to start the day like that and we started doing some homework: Reading and remembering.

We read a little story about a bear, a rabbit and a turtle that had some adventures with fruit and traveling. Well, Noah needed to tell the story again after we read it, to see what he remembered. Went pretty well, so we were able to do other things:

Bag number 26 was not big, but it was nice.

The Movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has a three headed dog in it and it guards .... well, the Philosopher's stone. Harry and his friends had to go through a couple steps and all three of those tasks were depicted in the part we were constructing for the castle... Some details:

Noah was really very into it and did not see anything besides the castle.... Did recognize the chess board himself and saw the flying keys in his mind. The movie definitely stuck to him and that was nice to see :–)

We finished the two specific places with three stages and it was a lot of fun ! ! !

Can you please write this down dad, because a lot of the people that are reading it, may like it, take another picture daddy.... So sweet :–)

If you are a coil subscriber , you are entitled to see the extras. What to do after a bag of legos :–)

An amazing Sunday, complete with all the stuff you want to do on on Sunday, sitting at home – being away from the bad bad world ....... eh no ! ! ! !

Started out with the usual LEGO ..... of course. We had to finish up some stuff and we wanted to because it had to become something, now it was just the bottom of the new buildings ! ! !

But the funny part was, we had to decorate 2 rooms, filled with wizardry stuff. Fun to do, all kinds of details. Noah really like it; all the details , the llittle bekers, seats and tables. The stickers just completed it ! ! !

Some parts Noah did ask me to help but his little hands, his little fingers were able to do the job much better in some situations ! ! !

When we were at a good moment, I had to take care of the lunch. I had to go to the store to get some stuff. Noah did not like it as he wanted to keep on going with LEGO, but if he wanted to have lunch .... well, see you in a bit ! ! !

Toilet paper was still available. Didn't need any, just wanted to confirm it was there again. Nice to see and respect to the people that fill that every day...

Interesting to see, I passed a house where 3 neighbors were talking with each other. They were all standing in their own garden ... maybe the picture doesn't show all the way, but they were socially distanceing

Back to LEGO, let's get some detailing here, we don't have too much left of this bag. Details are really showing up ! ! !

Look how cool this is ! ! !

All the details ! ! !

getting a little roof on top and done, right here. Mission accomplished and back 25 is done ! ! !

Back 26 is for tomorrow because it is way too nice to be inside. So, will discuss the next back tomorrow ! ! !

This is where Coil subscribers get the afternoon as an extra

Although the whole week seems to be a little bit of a weekend, today the weekend REALLY started ...... at 06.15.

Was pretty okay, I was not that tired, but immediately LEGO .... oh why not ! ! !

So we had to finish bag number 24. We both were a little bit MWEH because we are not building on the actual castle, it is the surrounding, maybe a different building, but it is extending the main building.... Should be nice, if you look at the pictures on the next pages, but THAT is not allowed, we are NOT looking at other pages.

We had to cover all this up, to make it in such a way that it could carry a new building. So it looked like this:

So that finished bag number 24. Noah really likes the castle.

but he did feel a little tired, so did not want to continue with bag number 25...

If you are a COIL subscriber, than read on, you will see what Noah did with his mother:
