....run a 10k?
Obviously this need not be answered by ladies only!
I've no idea as a pair of rabbits is all I have to look after...and they are hard enough...little buggars they are!

No, it's eaisier to run a 10k.

That was very definitive mickygee! Speaking from experience I guess.
So are more calories burnt off chasing round toddlers all day than doing training runs?

I have an extreamly hyper now 7 year old. She is on the go none stop. I don't know about calorie expansion but I used to be less than 10 stone before she started school and that was all down to her. Now she is at school I'm up to just under 12 stone.

Sounds like you need to run to keep up with her!

i dont run so cant comment but i have just restarted working in our schools nursery everyday, cos i love the 'on the go constantly feeling' i also love having an house full of kids maybe im just sad lol

Is it easier to look after 2 under 5 year olds than run a 10k?

only if the 5 year olds are asleep!

Give me a 10k over toddler taming any day

As a house husband to a family of 3 kids (5, 4 and 1) I can confirm that I go out for a run for a rest!

I'd like to be a house husband but as we don't have kids I guess that suggestion to SWMBO might not go down too well!

From personal experience I find racing a 10k properly a damn hard experience.

Babysitting for two under 5s is easy though. Amuse them for an hour or so, then they go to bed and you can watch TV for the rest of the evening.

Or is there a difference between babysitting and raising children? (innocent expression on face)
