Flexercise

Since my half-marathon training was far too advanced for me, I decided to do the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred to work up to being able to run for 10 minutes straight (I know, I'm totally pathetic).  In five months, I should almost be ready to start at the beginning of the novice half-marathon training.

The only time I have to do the workout is when Marina is napping.  Usually Eli is entertaining himself in some way while I jump around the living room, but then last week, he stepped up beside me and started to jump around with me.

Then, of course, this week I got the world's worst cold (this is unbelievable!  I am sure I have mono with all this sickness!) so I can't do anything without drowning in snot or being seized by a cough attack.  But it turns out Eli loves our workout and has asked several times to do it by himself.

Today after lunch, he asked to watch a movie but specified that he would watch it only after he had completed his workout.  So he put Jillian in and went to work.

I took some video of him since I couldn't stop laughing at him.

[P.S. This dumb video only works if you keep clicking all over it, I uploaded it about 10 times and it is still moody.  It worked after I clicked on the picture and the Play arrow a million times.  I'm so high-tech.]

Since I am still in a cloud of cough, he did his workout alone while I sat back and had a high calorie snack (I have to keep my strength up!).

I love this kid!
