Fun ! LOVE running and recently was able to run 4 miles myself. Today I got out in the snow and sun with the kiddos and went snow shoeing for 20 mins. It was fun. I towed the baby in a sled and my three boys followed in my tracks. They loved it and that I was outside with them. I think this is going to become a frequent activity!

Good for you. When my kids were young, I would take them to school and run in the track and my older daughter would run with me. She was 4 year old at that time. Now she is a marathon runner.

Great job!

But be careful with all the turning back & forth, it stresses the knee if you keep turning in the same way.
Best is to alternate direction of the turns or walk during the turns.

I don't have a long driveway so I just skip rope.

Thanks for all the encouragement!

It's good to post in the forums, I hadn't started a thread before.

That is awesome!!! I started out doing couch to 5k in my backyard. 13.5 laps was a mile. By the time I was given a treadmill I hated that lap. But it helped me lose the first 20 or so lbs of my journey. Way to go on not making excuses!!!

Good for you for overcoming the excuses. Your are being a great role model for the kids. You can add some walking lunges in for variety (with or without hand weights).
