Thanks! This sounds like killer fun! I mostly detest treadmills, but at 5 am in the winter months, it’s the only way if running is on the work-out calendar.

here’s a link to a list of other treadmill workouts.

@K – it was in the print version of the magazine, I haven’t found it online either. It goes like this: 2 min 0% grade, 3.5 mph (I usually make this a touch faster), 2 min 5% grade, 3.5 mph, 2 min 10% grade, 3.5 mph, 2 min 5% grade, 3.5 mph, 2 min 0% grade, 6.0 mph, 2 min 0% grade 7.0 mph, 2 min 0% grade 8.0 mph, 2 min 0% grade, 9.0 mph, 2 min cool down walk. I make it through what I can of the 9.0 mph part, then walk for a minute, then add some more intervals at 9.0 mph (usually 30-60 seconds each, though I’m aiming to get to longer ones!)

I think we are similar as runners, and I would like to try that workout but couldn’t find the exact one online. Thanks!

@ARC- but why would she get it when she could get you to get it? I mean really? 🙂

@Ana – what’s really sad is when the tooth fairy really, really wants to go to bed…but the kid is still up!

I have been trying to just walk away when the power struggle gets too much. She won’t eat the waffle in front of me if I have prepared it wrong, but if I leave the room, she’ll eat it. Because she wants the waffle, she just doesn’t want me to know it was OK.

I have a 4 year old, too, and we have a LOT of that going on. Also HE has to push the button on the microwave or the whole thing is over and the oatmeal will never be eaten.
I had to get up at 4 am because I forgot about my first tooth fairy stint. I had the note & money all laid out, then fell asleep on the couch and stumbled upstairs. Woke up 4 am knowing I forgot something…

The now-6-yo has always been pretty mellow about that kind of thing, but her sister is certainly making up for it…

Also, I was called in the other night around 4am because she lost her Kleenex. Never mind that she could just get a new one from the box right next to her bed. Sigh.

@Mary- and heaven forbid you switch the type of bread or cheese. I bought a different brand of sharp cheddar from Costco and I was very worried, but thank goodness it passed muster.

I once saw a tweet that said something like : “Hell hath no furry like a 4-year-old whose grill cheese was cut in squares when he wanted it in triangles.”
Sort of sums up my sentiments.
