Feet – my new favorite transportation 

Both kids are back to school, which means I’ve got double drop-off duty every morning from now on.

My daily commute today looked like this:

1. Will’s School
2. Andrew’s School
3. Home
4. Andrew’s School
5. Home
6. Will’s School
7. Home

These little trips added up to a total of 4.8 miles.

I walked all of them, with a little running to catch up with a bike or scooter here and there.

I sent Greg a picture of it mapped out with the mileage, and he pointed out that if I did that every day, it’d be a 25 mile week!

It’s not quite as effective as running those miles without breaks… and it’s certainly not as fast as driving, but that’s extra time outdoors in the warm September sunshine right now.

I also love how happy and independent the kids feel when they’re able to hop on a bike or a scooter instead of strapping into a car seat for their commute. Both of them absolutely love it, and it’s exercise for them, too.

I think I’ll miss this come January!
