Hey Campbellskid, good to hear that my little success can help keep someone else moving too. You are right you can let those body parts heal and still get in a bit of exercise. I bet you will feel great after.
KaTyBrown, I can tell you from experience that most mom's with strollers would LOVE the adult company on their walks
Days can be long with no adult conversation. It can help to get motivated if you think that someone is waiting to meet you somewhere.
Fille du Nord de Montreal - yes definitely different muscles. That little bit of running has got me hurting and stiff today. But a good kind of pain, the kind that let's you know you did something to improve your body. I have a weak hamstring from my ballet days many, many moons ago. It is tender but nothing to worry about. Hope you are all out enjoying this beautiful weather this weekend!
Sunday I was at the local school walking the track and built up enough determination to run one complete lap. I thought I might actually die by the time I finished but then walked for a bit and felt OK again soon. For the next few days I had slightly sore thigh and calf muscles but NO full body strike! So today I tried walking half a lap and running half a lap. I did that 3 times and felt great! This is definitely my new strategy to push my fitness level up a bit more. Everytime I come on here and read about what everyone is doing I get a little more inspired. On my drive to the track the other day I passed a girl running with her dog and I decided then that I would have to at least try to run that day. See inspiration is all around us 
This is so not like me ----
