Training Day #34/#35/#36

I never would have taken workout gear on vacation but I have come to look forward to working out and have really made it part of my weekly routine. So running shoes and workout clothes were first on the packing list. Not only did I get out and run twice but on my off days I did a 6 mile bike ride and a 5 mile bike ride. It felt good to get out and get moving!

Tuesday was a run day! When we go to visit Nancy, we love to go out to eat in the morning. Todd and I love to take the kids to East beach and get yummy chocolate chip pancakes and cheese grits. In order to eat this good food, I decided to run 2 miles and they would pick me up on the way to breakfast. I set out and felt great. I didn't want to stop. Instead of doing my usual 3/1's I just ran with a quick 30 second stop to take a pic of an alligator. It felt great!!!!

DISTANCE: 2.02 miles
TIME: 25 minutes and 32 seconds
Average heart rate: 168

Thursday was a run day! I didn't do as great as I did Tuesday but I pushed myself. I had to!! It was painful, my legs were killing me and I wanted to stop at 1.5 miles but I didn't!

DISTANCE: 2 miles
TIME: 26 minutes
Average heart rate: 157
Calories burned: 259
Average pace 13.01


Sunday was my long run day. I was dreaded it because it was such a nice day and we were enjoying time together. On the way home from lunch I had already talked myself out of the running shoes and into a bathing suite beside the pool, NOT SO FAST I thought! I have come to far to not get out there and run. Running 2 miles alone is okay but 5 is boring! I did run past where Joe Biden was staying there and waved at his secret service! the first 2 miles were tough, legs still hurting from Tuesday and Thursday, but somehow I made it!

DISTANCE: 5 miles
TIME:1 hour 13 minutes
Average heart rate: 162 heart rate

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
