So, no running today, but it wasn't a total loss of a day.

After work I went to help Shelley (my friend who watches Melanie during the day).  She had asked me to watch her kids while she went to her daughter's parent/teacher conference.  I was there for about 1.5 hours.  Out of the 90 minutes, I spent 30 +/- minutes playing hop-scotch, jumping with different children in my arms, and then another 45 +/- minutes dancing with various children in my arms to Shrek's party music (by the way, there are only about 5 songs, and I have them all memorized now). 

If that wasn't workout enough, I came home and put on my running clothes (planning to take Melanie for a run).  By time I was already to go, she was dead asleep.  Instead, I put her in her crib and did 30 min of kick boxing and another 20 min of yoga. 

So, I didn't run... but as you can tell, I have been running around with my head chopped off.  Speaking of which, it's time to make dinner!

Nice workout! :)

5 songs memorized in an hour and a half. Amazing!

I had to sing (actually lip synced) the Air Force song every day for 12 weeks and I still can't get it right.

Marion - thanks!

Mike - it really isn't too amazing for me. I can memorize music really fast (asuming I can hear and understand the lyrics) Brandon jokes that I only have to hear a song once. The point is though that after repeating those 5 songs 3, even 4 times, I was completely wore out (mentally)

Camille! Now THAT is a fitness plan after my own heart. The headless chicken-run is my specialty! (I'm also exceptional at the rat race).

Kick boxing? Wow, I'm going to have a kungfu read-head partner soon!!

you and me both have the same perspective...kids DO qualify for working out!

From montelepsy on Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 13:04:13

I wish I too was a song genius. I suppose if I work hard at it, I can get really good at shoelaces.

From Camille on Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 21:25:38

kids DO qualify as a work out, and a fun work out at that. But boy do they wear you out... will at least me.

Rachel - I'm already to be your Kungfured partner! I'll keep working on my kickboxing! :o)

Mike - I think you are the disco genius! I saw your moves!
