One of the events I am training for is a car push. I will need to push three cars of ascending size 50 feet each. I was going to practice with my middle daughter’s help this weekend but her schedule did not allow that.
To get the workout done, I decided it was time to teach my youngest how to drive.
In an empty parking lot, we worked on steering with the car off and in neutral. I pushed the car while she steered and she hit the brakes when I said I was done. Then we would start the car, roll in reverse at idle, while she practiced stopping without inducing whiplash.
I did not blow out an Achilles and she did not crash into anything. It was a decent workout and some father-daughter bonding.
Now I need to find a Suburban or large pickup truck to push for next time.
