Taking it slow

My husband tonight asked if we (as a family) could go jogging. He too, wants to get back into shape. We haven't used the jogging kit part of our Chariot so we took it for a test drive. And I loved it! It's hard to get into a rhythm though. Jogging while pushing is alot harder than I thought, but it was good.

We went out for about an hour and 15 minutes... and jogged about 30 minutes of it, but we made sure to keep our heart rates up. It was nice... and finally the weather was nice enough to even take the kids out in the Chariot anyway.

I took it slow.. my husband *the athlete* runs far better than me. I was slowing him down but he understands that I need to take it a bit slower.. especially for breathing. I know the concept, but I can't seem to breathe correctly all the time.

My father who ran 3 miles a day in the military told me he ran inhaling 2 steps and exhauling 2 steps. I have been trying that but I feel as though I am not getting enough oxygen and my lungs are wearing out far too quickly. Is it because I am just new to training them or am I doing it wrong?

Thanks for all your help.
