  1. 11 rounds + hspu on 12th round.
    Started with feet on countertop through 7 rounds then switched to most basic modification.
    Pullups were with band (1 unassisted)

  2. Nice job Denise! I will have to do this one when I get back in town. 🙂 Headed out for another beach run. It's already really hot here!

    1. Awesome-I wish I was able to do beach running! Enjoy the vacation! And-thanks 🙂

  3. 11 rounds + 5 hspu on 12th round.
    Feet Hooke on back of arm chair with knees bent for hspu. Need to look at how to modify these but that felt hard enough for me!
    Pu assisted with band. (1 unassisted!)
    Awesome wo!!

  4. 11 rounds in 20:38 of hspu's on 18" box, 20# thrusters and then 15 "pull-ups" with resistance band (no pull-up bar).

  5. Julia ~ do you have a jogging stroller or a wagon?
    I tried to go early in the morning and time my run to coincide with the library opening. I gave them healthy snacks (or breakfast) to eat on the way there. Take a pause to get some books – then jump back in and they would entertain themselves with the books they got. Or I'd just give them books and some toys and not go to the library at all. Sometimes we got a little crazy and I gave them water guns to squirt on our little excursions.

    As my oldest got older and could ride faster I let him ride his bike while I pushed (or pulled as the case may be) the younger ones (I kept the baby in a backpack carrier, like those for hiking, until babe was too heavy).

    Now all this is not always conducive to running the pace you want to – I was in the Marine Corps so I had to run, and even running like this helped me keep, and improve, my times because it is tough to push, pull, or carry extra while running and you feel like you're flying when you run without it all!

    PS: I had to come with rules about throwing or dropping books/toys out or else you can wind up stopping every few minutes to pick up a toy (but hey you could always turn it into a fartlick if you wanted by doing an exercise every time they drop/throw something out). I got a bag and everything that was dropped was mine and they couldn't have it the rest of the day. They dropped less and less and less.

    Sorry to be so long-winded!!

    1. The snacks & books idea is super helpful! As is going when they first wake up. Thanks!

    2. Wow, I didn't even know running with a baby hiking pack was possible. I have a 7 month old, 2 year old, 5 year old, 7 yo, 9yo and what works best for me is getting up at 5 to run before they wake up or turning on a movie and running on the treadmill if they are awake. I have a jogging stroller but I've never used it for jogging! 🙂
