I found this girl in the park who wanted to walk fast so I chased her around for an hour. Man is she fast! Along the way I got to tell her all about my wacky mother and her latest scheme. We went 6.1K in an hour. Not too bad. OK, it wasn't a stranger it was my friend. Did you think I was that weird?
After the walk I dusted off the kids bikes and the kids rode to the school and played on the playground. While they were doing that I remembered something I'd seen on TV and tried to use the time to do some exercise moves. I climbed a couple of things and attempted the monkey bars. I am not meant to do monkey bars. :)
I even got down and did some crunches, some (half) pushups, walking lunges and jump squats on the stairs to the school. If I had been more motivated I could have really made myself work. As it was I was just experimenting.
Anyways... I am moving more and that is a good thing.
Take care bloggers!
Here is a photo of my youngest. Her bike has a basket so she was the keeper of the stuffies that came along.
PS. Apparently I got 3K of walking in while the kids were riding and playing. Not too shabby!

Sounds like your having fun girly. Ain't that what its all about?? Jinx!
Good for you. I've tried the monkey bar workout and its tough. I may just stop by one on my "leisure run" today.
In all honesty, one of the big reasons I'm having a child is so that I can play on all the new fangled playscapes without looking like a complete lunatic. I'll be all like: "Yeah, I'm just playing with the little one." Right. :0)
Sounds like you had a fun day. Fun exercise is the best.
careful Sparky - sounds like you lived a healthy lifestyle day! That sounds like it was a) a great full body workout and b) a lot of fun with the kids - those are the things that they will remember when thinking about how active their mom was!!
Any weekend morning you want to walk fast give me a call!
