“A bit of Advice” (from Hunter)

Today is a perfectly gorgeous day for late October in Kansas!!! I wanted to take advantage and do my 43 outside so I could enjoy it. Since I’m not running right now I decided that jumping rope would be a fun outdoor activity. I’m not sure how fun it ended up 😉 but it was a really good work-out.

I did 43 jumps for each 1 of my 43 so 1,849 total jumps!!!! To keep track, I walked to the other end of the driveway in between each one – that way I was at the far end for the even numbers. I tried to never stop for more than 15-20 seconds between each one. It took approximately 30 minutes to do the 43.

(I looked like I was being tortured in all the pictures that showed my face!)

Hunter came out while I was jumping and said, “Um…some advice. You don’t have to jump so high. It’s easier if you barely lift your feet.” Thanks, Hunter!!! 2 things: If I barely lift my feet, I get tangled. Also, I’m not trying to make it easy!!! The funny thing is, he didn’t get a jump rope and join in or even demonstrate after his words of wisdom. Silly boy!
