I decided to walk to pick up Eli from school rather than deal with the traffic since we live a little over half a mile away!
Well that was a lot more work than I expected. Just saying....I'm out of shape! Maybe by the time spring comes making that walk will be a breeze, If I get back into working out now.
If you lived close enough, did you walk your kids to school, or would you?

I don't have kids. But if I did, I wouldn't be able to walk them to school because it would be a six mile walk one way.
No thanks.
lol

Yes, that would be way too far! I'd consider a mile or less close lol

My nephew has to take a school bus since the high school is about three miles away from home.

I understand, that is a long way to walk! The high school is farther than that from us!

If I had children I might. When I was going to school I walked until I got to high school; and the school was quite a distance away.

That is great that you walked till high school! That is sort of our situation...the elementary and middle school are within walking distance, but definitely not the high school!

@MommyOfEli2013 When kids go to high school, they usually start driving themselves to school.

That's good to hear that you would. I don't think I will do it taking him there, and then bringing him home cause that would be too much.

YES! Way to go! I am so proud of you. I think its awesome to live that close and it helps you and Eli. Every day it will get easier and easier.
I walk just about daily and I have lost 9 pounds, its free exercise and needs nothing but your will power.

Thank you! And I guess that will help, especially on days I can't get any other workout in. And walking him is better than sitting in the parking lot waiting to get out for 15 minutes!
I have read about your walking in your posts, and I think that's great....and congrats on losing the 9 pounds!

I would definitely walk my kids to school, instead of driving my car. It's good for Eli to get that walk, also!

@MommyOfEli2013 Maybe even every other day, just for a starter.

@kobesbuddy Maybe, Monday's, Wednesday's and Fridays; that would be every other day for sure. It would be a good way to get a 30 minute workout in.
