Slow And Steady Wins The Race, Right?

Our family's Biggest Loser challenge this week was to time yourself walking/running for 3 miles so yesterday I put Ella in the stroller and off we went. I wasn't quite sure how long 3 miles was but made a good guess and was back, tired, in 35 minutes. Not bad, I thought to myself.

Later that day, while driving the kids to various activities, I checked my route with the odometer in the van and found it was not quite two miles. Hmm. So not only am I slow, I'm a bad judge of distance.
