I figured today was going to be another day that I sat around like a lump. I spent most of the day cleaning the house and then I took a nap...go figure me nap. For those of you who know me, you know I luvs my naps. I do however realize that I need to try to nap less and move more. That is a discussion for another day though. So, today my daughter requested we go for a walk to the park. Initially I was going to say no, but I took a walk to the mailbox and realized that the weather was warm enough to bring the baby out. I went in the garage and began taking down my double jogger stroller. The poor thing hasn't had any road action since the Summer. The kids were all really excited to go, so that is always motivation for me. The walk to their school is like a mile or less. So I jogged and alternated walking all the way. I know fully well that I am not in shape to jog the whole way, but I do push myself to jog for as long as I feel I can. Then when we got the school the kids played on the equipment and I jogged around the school once. I know that is no major task, but I didn't feel like stopping yet!! That is how I can tell when my body wants to move...when it is time to stop, but I don't want to. I did the same on the way back home. When we got inside I realized we had only been gone for like an hour. Not good enough!! So I went right downstairs and got on the treadmill for another thirty minutes!! I logged in about 2.5 miles today and it felt great. Point for me today!!
