What do you do?

What do you do if you can't get out to train?

My three little ones are not old enough to be at home by themselves.
And I have always used this as an excuse for not training.
So yesterday, instead of complaining like I usually do, I packed a picnic breakfast for the kids.
One tub of yoghurt, one container of oats, fruit and some sultanas.
We drove to the park, a large green field by the harbour. I told the kids the idea. Mummy needs some me time. I need to get fit. So the kids sat and ate their picnic breakfast whilst I jogged around the perimeter of the park. This way I could hold a steady eye on them, and get in a little bit of running. I do admit, it was a little boring doing laps, but it was worth it.
25 mins for 270 cals :-)
The children thought it was great fun. Everytime I ran past them they would cheer for me. Stand up and wave and shout. Oh so cute!
Aftwards, we all played soccer - Oscars idea. Then we played thowing and catching - Malous idea. Then we played running after a ball - Lunas idea. Finally, we used Oscars foxtail. A baseball size ball, with a long tail ... which makes it fun to see fly and easy to catch.



After 2 hours spent in the fresh air and sunshine, we came home. I had my usual porridge for breakfast.
I felt wonderful. I had accomplished my training for the day!
