No running, so I figure sledging is a good alternative!

There is a lot of snow up here in leeds today, so I recon instead of the usual 30 min run an hour of sledging with the kids will be just as much exercise, running up and down the hill etc. I am looking forward to comparing how much difference the running has made, last time I went I was knackered after about two goes! This time I am hoping to fly up the hill (and back down) over and over again.

Just hope I don't get too giddy and injure myself!

Have fun running up that hill! He he! I'm sure you're right and an hour of sledging will be extremely good exercise. Do come back and blog how it went - no injuries though!

I loved sledging with my boys when they were young, it was quite sad when they decided mum would be an embarressment and they left me behind. It was only because I had to make the whoooooosh and weeeeeeeeeee sounds on the way down too. :)

As it turned out, we only managed about 15mins before frozen little hands (not mine) forced us to go home!
