Day 7 - the end of week one! For today's challenge, Phil & Amy title it "You Can Do It!" In this challenge, they tell the story of Esther, a girl who was 85 pounds overweight and was constantly finding herself in tears when seeing pictures of herself or being unable to play at the playground with her kids.

After attending one of Phil & Amy's events, she did the 90-Day Challenge and learned how to face her habits head on and turn her life around. Since then, she's lost 40 pounds and is running many 5ks and 10ks today. Here's today's challenge:
Find a child to play with for thirty minutes. Run and jump with them, take them to a park and chase them around. If you can't find a child, borrow a pet and do the same thing.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess) I don't have any kids of my own to play with at this time of my life. I also am without any sort of pet (thanks to the rules of my landlord), so I'm not sure I can fulfill today's challenge. I would maybe consider playing with the in-laws' beagle, but he's getting pretty old (and chubby) and isn't the real active type. It also makes me miss my old dog Jazz...it'd be nice to be able to play with her this weekend when I go up to my parents' house for Thanksgiving.
But if I ever get the opportunity to fulfill this challenge at any time in the next 90 days, I'll make sure to let you know about it! What child or pet are you going to spend some active time with?

Hey! Saw your link on the Running For Kicks group page.
I wish I could get my cat to be active. She could stand to lose some weight!
Come on over between 11:15 and 11:45. I have lots of "kids" you can chase around for half an hour.
