Workout: 3 mile tempo, ab work
Running
After my race on Memorial Day I decided to take some time off from structured running. It was wonderful!! I ran about 4 days a week, but I only wore a stop watch instead of my Garmin, and I ran nice and slow. My body totally needed it. I wanted to use this time to focus on strength training and ab work. That didn't happen....oops. I also was going to stretch and work on flexibility. Yeah, that didn't happen either. After July 4th weekend I decided to pick things back up to training mode.
Here is my first speed workout in about 5 weeks. My husband and I did repeat 400s. After the third one I thought I was going to puke!! I was hurting bad, but I finished and was able to run them all faster than my goal time. Yippie!!
My next race: Hmmmmm, good question. I was originally going to run a race July 26, but I had to throw it out the window due to money, money, money, MONEY!! Stinks having a hobby that can get a little pricey! I am currently looking for a 5K around the end of August. Fingers crossed!!

The kids and I just got back from a 3 week trip in IL. It went way too fast. I LOVE the midwest in the summer!!

Oh dear - my mom is gonna be so mad at me for posting this picture. But hey - it isn't my fault she didn't smile! Pizza and shopping night. Grateful for my mother taking the youngest three home so my sister and I could have our shopping be a little less stressful!
And no summer is complete until you camp in the back yard!! I took my daughter and two nephews camping out back by myself. It turned out to be waaaay harder than I thought. Managing that dumb fire pit was SO MUCH WORK!! Then there was some crying drama later in the night from Lyla so the whole night was pretty stressful.
We tried to go for a night time hike with all the 10,000 mosquitos. But those pesky things forced us into the tent. Bummer!
Why yes, a trip to the grocery store does deserve its own little spot on my blog. You mothers know that grocery shopping with kids is awful. I decided to make it more eventful by letting them each get their own cart;) They were the most reckless crazy drivers, and I might have accidentally raised my voice a little too loudly for a grocery store. Eek!!
More life posts to come!! Stay tuned for fun times in the midwest!!
