The Birthday Post

Workout: Strength training - shoulders and arms. I'm going to be sooooo sore tomorrow. I haven't done this video in about 4 months...EEK!!

My baby turned 4 quite a few weeks ago, but I really wanted to post a few pictures for me, really. I don't do big birthday parties. They're expensive, a TON of work, and I'm just not very good at that type of thing. So cake and ice cream it is!!

The big boy with his birthday cake! This is the first time EVER I have ordered a cake. He really wanted a spider man cake, and I new there was no way I could pull something off on my own. So Sam's Club helped me out;)

We just played one little game, but it was a hit!! This piece of paper cheap game from Party City was so much fun!!

Oh, I love this picture of the cousins!!! If only that dumb chair wasn't covering up Orlando:((

And after seeing those birthday questionnaires on some other blogs I read it made me want to do one, too!

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...

Running on a break

Workout: 30 minute run - 10 minutes easy, 15 minutes hard, 5 minutes easy. Ab work Running I decided to take a break from running. My knee had been bothering me, and all my runs felt sluggish. After a lot of going back and forth I decided that maybe a little bit of a running break was what I needed. The funny thing is that I am kinda still running while "on a break". So, the day after I decided to take a break I signed up for 2 races. Oops! Ok, one race isn't until December so that doesn't count. But, the other race is this Saturday. I have been running 2 - 3 days a week. Just easy 25-30 minute runs. Basically, just enough survive the 5K. The race should pretty much be torture. I am NOT in race shape at all! And it has been HOT!! Yeah!! I'm talking sweat dripping, eyes burning, seriously can't see a thing HOT!!! I would have jumped in the lake behind me here, but I saw a m...
