It’s a just get it done kind of week, I don’t mind the extra quality time with the kids but I will be glad when Cory is around to help until 8 am again next week!

We are breaking out all the Christmas gear this week because I can’t wait anymore!

We did our normal morning routine and started school. The kids have really settled in and seem to like our routine pretty well. After lunch I still needed to get my five mile run in and I wanted the kids to get some sunshine and exercise as well.

This is where I got a little creative with my run. We started outside with the kids on their scooters with me running behind them.

They can’t go 5 miles on their scooters so we headed home where I let them have “down time” (aka a show) and ran the second half of my run on the treadmill. Not perfect but it got the job done. Done is better than perfect.

I will cry when our treadmill finally gives out, we bought it in 2014 used so who knows how much longer it will last.

Cory home and we had turkey chili for dinner, perfect for a cold day.

We are also being treated to more snow and cold, let’s hope the treadmill hangs on all winter! I don’t think I will be out on icy streets in the dark.

Do you have a treadmill in your home? If so which one and do you love it? Or do you go to the gym, just run outside? How do you get it done?
