Playing Catch Up!

Totally slacking again in the blog department.  This month has been insane.  Both of my girls had birthdays (they're 1 and 4 now), we had their party, my mom was here for 2 weeks and Adam's mom and sister flew in.  Jack I was here for the girls' party and Jayne is staying with us through July 12th.  My training didn't get into full swing until las Monday.  I hit the gym and ran outside a few days.  So here's a catch up post.

It was really hot that day...the sun is brutal here (North Texas) and my skin is kinda sensitive.  Let's face it... My Michigan blood just isn't used to the heat yet.  😳 Pretty happy with mile 2 considering how hot it was.  💪

The treadmill isn't my favorite, I prefer to run outside... But it's been awfully nice to me lately with my pace.  I guess having a fan on you and a/c helps.  Lol.  I needed this gym day.  I ran and then did flutes and legs.  3.01 miles in 26:29!

I took my mom to the airport on Wednesday which always sucks balls.  I don't know when I'll see her again so it was a rather rough "see you later".  I decided to run outside...it was hot (I think I say this every post...but seriously it's been in the upper 80's-90's for weeks now).  I drenched my hat in cold water before leaving, it felt awesome for the run.  I wasn't aiming for a certain pace, just wanted to get my mileage in.  Mile 2 was a bit rough but I pushed through and had a negative split for mile 3 which is good.

2 miles were on the agenda this day.  I was in a mood and I KILLED it at the gym.  I ran 2 miles in 16:36.  Pretty freaking sweet!  Then I did a full body workout mostly focusing on legs.  I want strong, muscular legs that'll help me run fast.  I need to do more core workouts (tabata planks anyone?!) so I'll be adding those back in.  I've been meaning to take progress pictures but I haven't gotten around to it.  I also haven't done measurements in a while so I'll do that soon.  I'll include a recent picture from June 11th at my cousins birthday party so you get the gist of where I stand.  I'm doing pretty good and I'm proud of myself but I've got a ways to go to get to my goal. I'll get there!  

That's my cousin and my twin brother, Ryan.  Have a great night!
