| One of our cross- training nights, the Speedy Cheetah is scooter-ing in style! |
Well, the last couple of weeks have been busy! The second official week of the Running Zoo turned out to be Spring Break, which I thought would have worked out really well. Michigan weather, however, had other ideas. We didn't accomplish much during that week, though we did head to the Kroc Center one day and played some basketball, ran on the track, and went swimming. It was a really fun day!
The Couch to 5K app has been really great and enable us to run 5K in about 8 weeks. I am thinking it will take more like 10 weeks, since the girls are not consistently running. I have been making an effort to go even if they are not feeling like it. Or a few times Lillian rode her bike while I ran/walked. We haven't yet quite figured out what time is best to go.

Another motivating factor for me is our walking program at work. If I can log 1,000,000 steps by mid-September, I earn a bonus day off this year! The last two years I have reached 500,000 and received a half day off, but would like to really hit it big this year!
