The healing process seems so SLOW! I know that I only sprained/twisted my ankle but it feels like it's been forever and it's still not completely healed. Ok, enough whining.
Though I haven't been on the bike as much as I would like, I still have been trying to make sure that I boost my endurance and cardio other ways. Playing tag, though not good for my ankle, is great for that! I have done a lot of running around chasing the kids in the yard. It's been a lot of fun and a good workout, especially when I'm chasing them uphill. I have to say that I'm getting old though. I look at the endless amount of energy my kids have and they are hardly winded by it all. Once I catch them then they are squeling to do it all over again. I, on the other hand, could use a nap! When did that happen? I get the feeling that I'm not as fit as I once thought! On the plus side, it sure has made me more aware of what I eat and my activity.
So here's to wishing I was as energetic as kids and realizing that will never happen! May it continue to push me onward in my quest to find more ways to be healthy and active.
As a side note: For those who think gardening isn't a cardio workout, I beg to differ. Try clearing out land and then tilling it the old fashion way: with a garden hoe! If you aren't sweating when the job is done it's because you didn't do it!

Your having fun with the kids and that is all that matters...I'm sure you realize how quickly time goes by and how fast they grow. Enjoy all your outdoor activity, sounds great! I love gardening and know all about the sweating part! Hope you have a great summer of more fun tag playing!!!
Yes, gardening is strengthening and cardio! I had to get out the old garden hoe and til up my garden by hand.... It made me TIRED!!! I still ran after that - though I have NO idea how.
Ahhh that energy of youth. We can fake it all we want, but we will never get THAT back! ;)
