I had a busy day with kids today. It was so nice outside when we got home from running around that we went down to the park. I tried to run as much as I ould while watching 6 kids.     I ran more than I walked and at a faster pace than normal.    After the first mile I just had random kids running behind me crying, so i walked until they would let me take off again.

I was going to get on the treadmill later but I have shin splints again. I might get on the bike.   

30 minutes on bike,

Sounds like fun...don't think I've ever tried to run alone with all of my kids araound. You are a brave woman.

There is a little play ground and a big hill that they roll down. I can see them from every angle of the track. I also had my 11 year old pushing the stroller around the track and my 7 year old was helping. So not as brave as it sounds:) I did try running with the stroller and at one point had one of the twins on my back. They all want to go back tomorrow.
