Heat Wave??

I got super excited about the blast of heat that has spread its way across central Illinois.  I normally don't run on Sundays, but it was 45 AND sunny.  I couldn't pass this up.  I thought it would be good for Lyla to get out of the house as well, so I made sure the wheels on the jogging stroller were full of air and took her along with me.
Thank goodness I grabbed this blanket for her last minute.  It turns out that it was 45, sunny, AND windy!!!!  I guess I should have checked the wind chill before I decided to take Lyla along.  She was a trooper.  I asked her several times if she wanted to go home, and she didn't.  I only made it 2.4 miles instead of 3.  I just felt so bad for my poor little baby.  I also felt pretty bad for my poor little ears.  My ears and face were freezing!  I'm thinking I will wait for high 50s or low 60s to bring her out with me again.  I guess it wasn't much of a heat wave after all.

    I've done that to my kids too...the worst, though, was when Jack was only 4 months old. I think it was about 17 degrees out. Yeah, he was cold. I guess that just how desperate I was to get out of the house!

Summer Races

Workout:  3 miles easy - 100% humidity and dew point of 76!!  UGH!! Since fall is here in just a few days I thought I should throw my summer races up on the blog while it is still officially summer!!;) I was pumped about my summer races.  I had a good workout plan in my mind, and I was going to break 23 minutes!!  I was so determined!  Well, I thought I was so determined.  But, I guess I wasn't that  determined because things fell apart pretty quick.  There was vacation, and then our cruise, and then traveling up to Illinois.  And although I could have run during all these events, well,  I didn't.  OOPS!! Fisher Fair 5k I ran this race with my brother, and this was his first race in 20 years!!  It was really cool to run it with him, and to see him get back into running.  I actually only ran "with him" for about 7 steps, and then he took off. Mile 1 -7:34  Yeah, way too fast.  I'm actually pretty good a...

A little mommy rant!

Workout: HIIT download/2mile run Okay moms, I hate being bombarded in every parent's magazine and internet article about all these super star moms.  You know, the moms  that feed their kids organic food, only let their children play educational games, and make their two year old do service projects. You can judge and put your nose up in the air about me, but that is totally okay, because I judge you, too!!!   Seriously, I want to throw my greasy hamburger in their face and tell them to shove it.  My kids are awesome, healthy, happy, and enjoy life.  And I enjoy the things I do being their mom.  It is totally okay to: 1.   let my kids eat McDonald's french fries.  2.   let my children watch cartoons....right smack dab in front of the t.v.  3.  Allow them to drink  a late night polar pop!!  I believe this is Dr. Pepper. 4.  iPad games instead of story time at bed!! I don't care that these things...

Harbour Heights 5K review

Workout:  Shredding (cardio and weights) from Lindsay Brin -  Moms Into Fitness YAY!!!  I finally ran a race in 2015.  As much as I wasn't feeling it I knew I needed to get my butt out there and race once again.  I kept trying to creep my way out of the race - I don't have time, I'm not in shape, etc., but my husband was very insistent that I run.  I appreciate him for that! Pre Race Oh my word!  It was awful.  Orlando cried the entire time we were in the car because he wanted to go back to bed.  Listening to crying for 35 minutes first thing in the morning is torture!  Then, when we got to the race the parking lot was 1.4 miles away from the park!!  With 2 small children that is....well, not ideal.  They had 1 shuttle going back and forth, and the line to that was a mile long.  I still had to pick up my race packet and knew there was no way I would make it in time!  Thankfully, we had the stroller in the trunk ...
