Yippee!! I made it to the gym twice this week!

Yippee! I made it to the gym twice this week. I went on both Monday and Wednesday. I had MOPS on Friday and a doctor appointment on Thursday so I didn't go then. I still have a goal of going 3 times per week. My little Knight was sick the second week of school so we could not go that week at all.

Number of workouts since the school year began: 3.

Week #3!

Not exactly a run, but....

I worked out today!

Now that Princess and Prince are officially back in school, the Knight and I plan to visit the gym several times a week. It was not a run, but I walked for 35 minutes. I am not supposed to get my heart rate up too high. It felt really good to get moving again. It helps so much to get in a Monday workout. Now I only need to get 2 more in this week - and maybe even more! The Knight went to the playroom with absolutely NO fuss at all! He did great and told me he had a great time.

So, I am 5 months pregnant and I have not gained a pound yet. I hope the walking will help this continue!

New school year workouts total: 1!

Hey! It's a start!

Missing In Action!

I have been missing in action for a while, but I have a good excuse! I found out in May that I am expecting baby #4! They will not let me run while pregnant so I will have to pick up where I left off after the baby comes.

See you next year for some more running fun! I have a goal to run the same race I ran in April this year. Good incentive for getting in shape after baby!

Monday Workout!

On Monday the boys and I hit the gym. I ran for 45 minutes and the boys played happily in the playroom. I was not able to go on Wednesday. The boys were invited over to a friend's house to play. It was a rainy day and the boys were having so much fun that I didn't have the heart to make them leave in time for me to get to the gym. We will go again on Friday. Yippee! I am back on Track!

I am so looking forward to this summer. Last summer we didn't have the gym or the pool but this summer we do. I am planning to spend 4-5 days a week at the gym. I may take a Bible study on Wednesdays so that would make 4 days a week more realistic. It is so important to create challenging but obtainable goals.

Happy Running!!

New Goal!

I have a brand new goal!

Our fair city has something called a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. Because it is usually just our little family for Thanksgiving, I can make this race a goal of mine. It is a 5 mile race, a little more than a 5K and a little less than a 10K. I am still looking for another 5K between now and Thanksgiving.

I have been running in an effort to increase my speed. Every week I am going to bump my 5K speed .2 mph. I want to get to 6mph.

Happy Running!

Catch up!

Whew! The last two weeks have been a scurry of doctor appointments, shopping, and other stuff I put off to make time to go to the gym! I am going to be back at it with full force next week with a new plan to boot!

Happy Exercising!

Race Day Pictures!

I tell you, it is hard to start something and complete it on the same day anymore! Here are the pictures from my big race day!

<==Here I am running hard at the end of the race. I really wanted to get to that finish line!
