Jake is helping me train for my first 5k! Yes, that is my goal for 2010...to run in a 5k and hopefully a 10k. He is the best running buddy and I love it that he can come along with me. Going to the gym and leaving him, yet once again, during the work week was not going to work out with me. I hate leaving him as it is...so this was the perfect solution! Now the whole family, yes Izzy included, can get a workout together.
I think that it is important for Jake to witness mommy and daddy getting exercise...you know, setting a good example of what a well rounded human being looks like...and getting exercise is part of that in my eyes. I really want to be the parent that "shows" Jake the right way to do things rather than the parent that "tells" you the right way. I think him coming along and helping me train for a personal goal is the perfect example of doing just that!


Remember: I'm just starting my "couch to 5k training!"


Let's go mommy! Jake was very entertained by the cars and the people out on the road.

  1. TWINSIES!!!! So excited that you are doing Couch to 5k too. :-) You're my little running partner, even if we aren't able to run together. I just hope that this week Rowan will be like Jake and will LIKE the stroller. Otherwise, this might be difficult.

  2. How do you like the stroller?! I love mine. What's a "couch to 5k"? Hmmm.....I might need to look into that!
