Multitasking while running

by workoutmommy on January 19, 2010


Here are a few of the things I did during my running workout on my treadmill:

  • changed 2 diapersManon
  • broke up 5 fights over the same ridiculous toys
  • changed the channel 2 times and then put in a movie.  (that no one watched)
  • got two different drinks (not for me)
  • went back for two different snacks. (again, not for me)
  • nursed a cranky baby
  • helped a preschooler “clean up” after using the bathroom

So much for a stress free workout, huh?  No matter how many interruptions, I still felt better after my workout than before.

Never underestimate the power of a workout gang!

Good for you not just throwing in the towel and giving up on the whole workout! I love to workout – it is my only form of sanity and stress relief:)
Nice to meet you

I too changed two diapers during my run this morning! Kudos to you for not losing your mind in the midst of it all. Yes, I’m having one of *those* days.

You are so right! Even if your workout is interrupted it’s better than not having done it at all! If nothing else it gives you a great feeling of accomplishment that you are clever enough to do it all!

Good job on persevering! I would have given up – maybe that’s why I haven’t bothered to buy a treadmill.
