Family running

Yep, I'm getting the whole family hooked on this running thing.

I signed us up (me, MB & Megan) for a race in late March. The money raised will go to help fight childhood obesity. I am just liking the fact that Megan is thrilled about running in her first race. She will run 800 meters (a half a mile). MB will run a 5k (3 miles) and I will do a 10k (6 miles).

Yesterday I was sick and just laid in bed sleeping all day. Made me feel so incredibly lazy. Today I was tempted to do the same boring thing, but managed to get out in the blustery wind and drive down to the workout room. Since it was another snow day and school was closed, Megan came along.

Megan ran 1/2 mile on the treadmill and walked some. She became very bored once the novelty wore off. Surprise, surprise. I couldn't blame her. I tried to encourage her to explore the other machines, but I didn't want to stop my own workout to help her move the pins and adjust the seats.
Also I had in my headphones and had to keep pulling them out to hear her talking to me. It was a frustrating 5 miles for me. Finally I was done and she was more than ready to go.

I did a little bit of stretching and showed a couple guys that came in how to use the quick speed feature on the treadmill.
