Make up miles & fun

Since I didn't have time to run my scheduled 3 miles yesterday, I decided to make it up today.  I only lacked 1 mile to make up for the missed mileage yesterday.  So the plan was to take all 3 boys on a quick 1 mile run, then, come home a rake the leaves for them to play in.  (We are the only house on our street with more than enough leaves to do this with.)

My run went as well as expected considering I was pushing 110 lbs. of stroller and kids, and I am fighting a cold.  I hit my desired pace, so I wad happy.

Immediately when I got home I went to the shed to get the rake so I could rake leaves for the boys to play in. (It's a good cool down.)

I really like to make sure that on the days I run, that I make sure the boys get to do something active as well.  Many days I will run and make sure that I end at a park, so that the boys can play.  It is my reward for them sitting in the stroller.  And, it is only fair that they get to do something too.  This is one way I like to promote a healthy active lifestyle.

Happy Wednesday!
