Childminding Hips …
Most childminders have got alarmingly ‘comforting’ hips, breasts and tummies (I’ve been doing a covert survey at toddler group).
Manoeuvring single, double or even triple buggies, carrying babies, dancing with toddlers, crawling into secret dens and assembling/joining in playing with railways and puzzles etc means we are a pretty fit, strong and flexible lot really - but approaching 40 makes me no longer content to have a hip size that matches my age … hence this New Year’s running/jogging (walking the uphill bits) regime.
I have been sneaking out in the evenings under cover of darkness and baggy trackies and rediscovering what solitary, childish fun and what a fantastic stress-buster it is to just ‘run’ along the pavement. It feels like I go faster in the dark too!
