Chloe and I have started “going to the gym.” I decided it was time for both of us to expend some energy–me to do something good for myself (and hopefully work towards loosing weight) and Chloe because she needs to work off some energy.\u00a0 She is starting to act out now that it’s winter and has so much energy bursting<\/strong> <\/em>out of her.\u00a0 And since she doesn’t generally like playing alone she doesn’t want to run around in the yard…<\/p>\n

So we’ve started to go to the track at the community center.\u00a0 I’m slowly starting to walk less and jog more, but it’s going to take me a long time to be able to jog consistently.\u00a0 But hey, I’m moving again.\u00a0 And that’s what matters.<\/p>\n

Chloe walks around the track with me and then she gets to take a break on the bench while I jog for a little bit, then she jogs along with me for a little bit until she gets too tired.\u00a0 It’s good for her–plus it makes the time go faster for me.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Of course, this whole outing is going to take a little patience and fine tuning.\u00a0 It’s going to take a bit for her to really understand that she needs to stay out of the way when she’s there with me… and that she can’t just play and goof off.\u00a0 Sometimes she’s awesome and other days it’s a definite struggle.\u00a0 Most of the time it’s older people just walking on the track so they don’t mind her boisterous activity, but there are other days when I can tell the “serious” runners get a slightly annoyed.<\/p>\n

But even though it’s taking work, I still think the activity as a whole is good for both of us.\u00a0 I’m very hopeful that we can continue our gym outings together and that she will enjoy being able to really stretch those legs and run off some energy!<\/p>\n
