Today my training consisted of walking a baby in a stroller.  Some days that&#8217;s all my busy schedule will allow.  <\/p>\n<p>I find myself falling into this rut of not doing any exercise on the days in between my running days.  I know I should do a sit up once in a while or lift a weight or two.  When feeling harried, as I often do, working out for 15 minutes, or doing a set of push ups a few times a day, seems insufficient.  But then I do nothing at all to improve my fitness on those days.  Talk about insufficient!<\/p>\n<p>Today I thought, Why not go over to the park and walk for 30 minutes?  So I threw the baby in the trunk and the stroller in his seat.  Er&#8230; I went over to the park and walked around the lake three times for a little over three miles.  That was way better than not doing anything just because I felt so taxed by the day.  <\/p>\n<p>I have a lot of work to do to get ready for the 50K.  That&#8217;s 31 miles.  Three miles of pushing a stroller might not be sufficient preparation for such a long race.  But an hour of walking is more helpful than an hour of sitting on the couch fretting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am training for a 50K trail race which takes place 46 days from now.
