Congratulate me: I did five consecutive days of Leslie Sansone's 3 fast mile
walking workout this week, Monday through Friday. It meant getting started very early on Thursday so as to be able to finish before having to teach my computer science students but I did it. Go me!
This morning, having a bit more time available, I decided to step it up a bit. I did her 5 mile walk,
while Number Guy took Neatnik over to tae kwon do. She really wanted to finish up the workout with me when she got home. Her class runs for 45 minutes and the DVD is about 80 minutes long. Sadly for my daughter, since I started before they were ready to leave and there being some transit time, I finished my cool down and came upstairs just as she burst through the front door.
As all of the mommies out there can attest, a promise is a promise: I had to take her back downstairs to do a walking workout with her. Just the 1 mile booster,
though. See previous on having just finished a 5 miler on my own.
We followed that up with some jump rope and some Skip It.
Then, the child wanted to tackle a session of dance studio.
Hey kid, I just finished six miles and a bunch of hopping and skipping around the basement like a bunny rabbit. Uncle.
PS - Does anyone out there use those interlocking floor mats?
Concrete basement floors are very unforgiving... Feedback??

The floor mats are wonderful as long as you dont have cats that like to scratch them LOL. But they do have a smell so air them out first. My hubby uses them under his weight machine.
I have the mats to cushion the sound of kitties jumping off the cat tree. They do help quite a bit.
I have floor mats... I find they travel some when I use them for working out on... but I've got them over carpet. They might be a bit less mobile on concrete. They definitely work as cushioning, though! I also keep a couple in my sewing room under the machine and by the ironing board. The floor in there is lino-on-concrete, and they keep my feet comfy as well as warm.
Home Depot or BJ's--- that is where we got them :)
Wow and well done. I feel tired reading about it.
I use the interlocking floor mats. But only for blocking lace...
We ended up putting down some (relatively) inexpensive berber carpet in the basement and haven't regretted it for one minute. It wears beautifully, doesn't show the dirt and has made a world of difference down there.
