Cross Training

My buddy Hal tells me I should cross-train one day a week as part of my marathon training.

Yeah, right. When exactly am I going to work that in? Does playing Marco Polo with the kids count?

Last night, however, I was working in the yard when I realized that I cross-train almost every week. Pushing a mower, sweeping the sidewalks, edging the grass - I generally spend about an hour on it, and I say it counts.

I'll be checking cross training off the list. Ha!
