Let's walk to school

Son #2 and I arrived home about 15 minutes before #1 finished school. Hey! Let's walk to the school and pick him up instead of taking the school bus.

I grabbed the double jogging stroller and off we went. It's tough to make it on time when you have 10 minutes to cover a 15 minute walk. However, the bus waits for 10 after school ends. #1 son jumped off the bus and ran straight to the playground, with #2 toddling after him.

After a bit of a fight with some other kids, mom hauled #1 off the playground and headed home. Pushing 2 kids weighing 80 pounds total is a bit of a fight, so I was happy when #1 decided walking was a better idea.

The walk home took a least 2.5 times the walk out.

Total distance covered: 2.4km (1.5 miles)
Total journey: 29.5 km (18.4 miles)

P.S. Great. Just great. I have BLISTERS on the bottoms of my feet from walking in my snowboots. I have NEVER had a blister from running. One 15 minute walk and I get them. I'm SO happy. NOT!
