Sixty dips

Okay, they were bench dips in sets of 10, but the point is, playgrounds are great places to add a little something-something to your average run.

Josey, if you can find a way to make your lunch runs wind past an urban playground, you can rev up your run with dips on a bench, chins on the monkey bars, or push-ups at the bottom of the slide. I also discovered swing planks. Seriously - try doing a plank with your hands or elbows on a swing. Angle to the ground doesn't seem like much, but these are hard.

And my kid? He can pull himself up into a standing position on the big kid swings without aid. The big kid swings are higher than his belly button.
