Runner's Rant!

It's been a fabulous fitness-filled morning! Les Mills Pump called for a WALK!

I loaded snacks, fresh apples we picked yesterday evening, into the double jogger and headed out on the pavement as soon as Leanna went off to school, 9AM! The weather has been absolutely amazing, I couldn't stay indoors!! We started with a warm-up and once we got on the road, I made my way into some "easy" running, Whew!! I had to continuously remind myself, to take it EASY, especially running uphill. Stupid Knee, Impatient Runner. Yeah, Yeah! 

Once, I got to flat grounds, I picked up the pace and we made our way to 2 MILES!! There were a few other Runners and Walkers too. The girls stayed in content and playing peek-a-boo with each other. I had my music on blast, can't go wrong with No Doubt!!

We took a [bumpy] hike towards the lake. It's such an amazing view from every which way you turn, sun shine shining through, squirrels running around the trees, birds chirping. So calm and I needed that, I really did. I needed to push my energy into something positive.

[Feeling FABULOUS; Day 4 of NO COFFEE!!]

 

  After a walk around the lake, I made a stop on this bench and got busy with some PUSH-UPS & TRICEP DIPS; 5 sets of 10 for each. Because there's no excuses when you have fabulous weather, kids and the great outdoors! Take advantage and make it happen! I was hurting after 2 miles and a hike down to the lake; it's worth it, making my way to my fitness goals!! 

 After this Mama got her workout in, baby girIs enjoyed some park time, and the fabulous weather!! After naptime, we are heading back out with all 3 girls in tow, to start logging in MILES for the KID RUN THIS TOWN Challenge!! And, picking Blackberries!!

Run Faster, Mama!

Running in the Rain. I just had to get out there and I absolutely loved every single BURNING second on that pavement/track!! I had a few cancellations for bootcamp, typical on a rainy day, before I even headed out, so I decided just to ENJOY the run and swing by the track in case anyone else showed up. The thing about it is, I LOVE RAIN!! I enjoy the outdoors and this was my first attempt at my current challenge with my ever so changing schedule. Baby Girls were excited to get out in the rain too, and enjoyed the view along the Base Roadways. Whewww....going uphill with a double jogger is TOUGH, really TOUGH!! I was winded after 10 minutes but I kept going. Made it, kept going, went around towards the gym and ran a few laps around the track to complete 2.02 Miles in 28:55. Not too bad with rainfall. We hung out, re-fueled & stretched out before walking back home. I already have a few routes in mind for my next run and another mother runner who wants to join in. Excited to be giving my outdoor runs back in action. WhOoHoOOooo!!!

It's a Fabulous Friday Y'all!

I'm SUPER PUMPED for today's BOOTCAMP!!! I've created a FABULOUS ROUTINE & I can't wait to get after it!!! It's a little INTENSE and VERY different from my past BOOTCAMPS!! It involves rounds, using the track; I'm calling it 5,4,3,2,1,GO!! And, it's definitely going to be one heck of a workout!!!                                 

I'm Even getting in a QUICK Run before class, Mama need to stretch her legs!! 

Whoop! Whoop!! 

Have a Fabulous Fitness-Filled Friday Y'all!!
