Thanks! I still run- so that's my true me time. Luckily he has no interest in running :-) I'm sure his excitement will either wear off, or he'll get to a place where he does his own thing and we're only traveling together. 

If you want to get into running, I highly recommend Couch to 5k.  I started it in June of 2015, ran my first half marathon in December 2015, and ran a full in March of 2016.  Now I run 40-50 miles per week and am training for ultra marathons.  But it all started with the couch to 5k app on my phone, running 30 seconds out of every 5 minutes.  Also, just a simple tip, run slow and easy.  No need to treat every run section as a sprint.  You should be able to hold a simple conversation while running, at least in the beginning.

Hi Peachpie!

  I can definitely understand how this can put a damper on your ME time! Maybe you can have specific days that you son can go with you and it can be geared more towards him, but also have days that he has to sit out. It's very important that you maintain your workouts and have that release to stay healthy. If you spend all of your exercise time not effectively moving you will begin to stall. So maybe have 2 days a week for him and 3-4 for you, that way you won't feel deprived. Just an idea.

Awww! Thank you so much! Yeah, I noticed my back started hurting when I was power-walking on the trail. What shoes did you get?

Thanks! I copy and pasted the info from that to try it out. :)
