First track attempt

This morning (after the normal morning routine with the boys) I started getting ready for our first track walk. I got the double stroller in the trunk, got Will bundled up, got Luke’s shoes and jacket on, got Will in the car seat…and was just about ready to leave when I realized Will would need to eat in a few minutes. So – out of the car seat came Will to nurse. After checking all the diapers, I put Will back in the car seat, put Luke’s gloves on, got his sippy cup and out the door we went. We drove to the outside track only to see that they were still using it for PT! Eeeeek! So back home we drove to wait until PT would (hopefully)be over. While waiting (Will fell asleep on the way back – yes!) I ate breakfast (Luke had already eaten earlier) and did some crunches. Then it was back to the track. When I arrived (again) there were some ladies walking with their strollers – whooohoo! So I walked 5 laps (1 ¼ miles I think – (Chris do you know if it’s a ¼ or ½ mile track?)) It was great! Will fussed a bit – but eventually fell asleep. Luke got restless at the end, so on my cool down, I let him walk with me – he loved it! I know it wasn’t a rigorous workout or anything, but I’m really proud that we got out there and did it – yay me (and Luke and Will)! LOL!

Alright, the boys are awake, so off I go!

Waling is one of the best exercises youcan do. Its easy, doesn't hurt your knees, trims your waist. I super proud of you!!!

That's so awesome! The best part is that you did it despite all the little bumps along the way. What great determination.

I have been walking once a week with a girl from work and it feels so good. I've got to follow your lead and get out more.

Thought you might like to know tha tyou served as my source of inspiration last night when I really wanted to go to bed without doing my exercises. I said, OH!, I bet Mindy did hers and she's got 2 babies! I did them and felt much better.

Keep up the motivation!

I used to hate hate hate PT. I don't blame you for turning around and coming back later...I would've done the same thing.
