It's my me time and even though it's hard to get up somedays it really helps me keep refreshed and motivated through the week. I also take the kiddos with me sometimes, they are beginning to ride their bikes now at a constant pace so that I can jog behind them! :) We stay fairy active as a family, all my kiddos even my 3 year old will do yoga with me and squats and has been doing for over a year now LOL it's so cute! It makes me feel good as I have been obese my entire life and am down 160 lbs now, I am hoping to teach my kiddos a different path and it seems to be working! :) Truly Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598624370169944852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-2911478995109287442013-08-07T06:05:09.960-05:002013-08-07T06:05:09.960-05:00 Love this post, as any training and balancing tim...

If I'm going for a run, it's so easy to incorporate them - Tucker on the bike and Izzy in the jogger. When I do yoga - Izzy always pulls her yoga mat up beside mine and does some poses with me. :) Running With The Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601914986382828332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-88212432593970035782013-08-06T13:55:56.001-05:002013-08-06T13:55:56.001-05:00I combine evening runs with walking (running) the ...I combine evening runs with walking (running) the dog.

I started running when I went for a regular check up and my Doctor told me to quit smoking (smoke free 18 months now), and start exercising or die. When given to you point blank-you change if you want to live. I want to live & to see my grand babies grow up! And I want to influence them to be healthy and live full fit lives as well. I just celebrated my 48th birthday-and have my 2nd 1/2 marathon to run in 2 months!
