昨日は、午前中雨が降ったので、屋内の建物に砂場がある子供のための遊び場「ぐんぐん」へ行ってきました。だいたい平日毎日、家事が終わると、お昼にかけて子供のための遊び場へでかけたり、買い物へ行ったり、外へ出かけます。


It was rainy yesterday morning. So my two-year-old son and I went to a children's public facility called "Gun-Gun," which is run by the city and can be played free of charge. Mostly when I finish household chores on weekdays, I take my kid somewhere such as to children's facilities, to a supermarket, or so on.  

 


子供の遊び場へ行って、基本は楽しいのですが、ちょっとの不満といえば「自分としては暇」ということです。子供がおもちゃで遊んで、私も子供の相手になるのですが、やっぱりぼーっとしちゃって、なんか物足りなくなります。


Children's places are almost fun for me, but one thing if I complain is "much more free time than I need." Although my kid and I play with toys together, sometimes I have nothing to think or do. It's boring. It's short of pleasure.

 

だから、ぐんぐんの屋内の遊び場で遊んだ後、ドーム型の建物にある砂場で遊んだのですが、一周100メートルくらいありそうなところを、ジョギングしました! 子供のことを見ながら、5から10分くらい走りました。ジョギングをしたのは、ほんとうに久々です。でも、日ごろの運動のせいか、肩をちゃんと振ることができてよかったです。


Therefore this time, when we went outside to play at the sand pit after staying indoors, I did some jogging. The place was dome-shaped with the circuit of around 100 meters. So I had some run for about five or ten minutes. Of course, I saw my child at the same time. It had been a long time not to do such a thing. But, surprisingly I could run even for the short time, partly because I do some workout on a daily basis. It was pleasure I could swing my arms to get my shoulders moved.

 


子供の面倒を見ながら、運動して、ちょっとハイテンションなお母さんなんて、きっと私しかいないでしょう。変わった私です。
It might be rare if you find a running mom in high spirits who also looks after a child. I'm afraid it's only me. Probably I am unique.
