Started Couch to 5K with my kids today, against the older two children's wishes. They are 13 and 15 and sooo not thrilled. The eight and ten year olds were much more excited and compliant.
Today's goal was to walk 5 minutes briskly then alternate 60 seconds of jogging with 90 seconds of walking until 20 minutes has elapsed. I pretty much pulled my 13 yo daughter along with me. But she did it! And so did we all.
I've done a couple 5K races already - all running - so my role here is coaching my kids. I don't think my 15 yo will find it much of a challenge, but it will be good for him anyway.
I also walked two miles tonight with friends at a local park.
Sparkpeople tells me I burned 329 calories during these activities and exceeded my daily goals.
