So Proud

I am so proud of myself...to some it may not seem like a big acomplishment, but I have worked out for 9 days in a row and it feels amazing. I know that I am at my worst physical shape ever and by taking note in these small accomplishments is a must. Everyday I better my body is a win for me.

Monday Madness

Today was a great day of get out their and move. I love holidays for this reason, but I hate them for the food. I started the day with weights and a 2mi run then headed out on a 2mi hike up mill creek with the kids, we had a blast and then finished the day off with a BBQ and Smores. I wore my body bugg and burned just a little over 24000 cal for the day, that is a heavy burn day, but I never stopped moving.

RUNNING in the RAIN

Jason forgave me for lossing his phone and we went on a amazing run together today in the rain. Their is something about running in the rain that leaves you feeling refreshed and at peace with your surroundings. I love the smell of rain and the way the clouds make the light soft and everything looks so bright. The run was a little hard, I am starting to get my endurance back, but I was thankful that Jason pushed the stroller with Beck, I think that pushing the stroller would have pushed me over the top. I love running with Jason, it gives us time to just be together, I love when we are toghether.

Saterday Virgin Ride

There is nothing better than getting up before the rest of the world and hopping on your bike and having a great friend right beside you. Today Mindy and I did our virgin ride of the season and it was fabulous. We did a flat area down 7th east and rode flats for close to 30miles. It was fast and fun, my butt feels it a little, but everything else is happy that it went. The bummer thing is I lost Jason's phone and my kit...hope someone likes it. Thanks Mindy for a great ride and even better conversation.

First week back into action.

This was my first week back to running and trying to see what my new heart can do. i exercised everyday this week and I FEEL AMAZING. I never realized how much I love to move my body, even though it is moving at a rate much slower then i am used to and that it is so jello-y from not lifting anything for so long. i loved this week. I was able to run with a good friend of mine in Vegas on Monday and he kicked my butt..he likes to keep a little better then a 9min mile and I was so struggling, but it was still awesome to feel the push. I love to have someone to push you just a little bit harder then your own self is willing to push you. WOW, what a great week, I can't wait keep going..little red riding hood is this coming weekend and it should be a blast with all the girls riding our bikes.

I DID IT AND WILL DO IT!!!!

So I did it I sighned up for IRONMAN. I am so exited and so scared at the same time. I think that it will be an amazing thing for me to do. I will run this race on May 1, 2010..so a year from now. WOW!!!! I am just soooo exited.

The BIG mufftop

well after going through heart surgery and a month of recovery, the mufftop has taken on a new size and it is bigger than ever. I just received the best news from my cardiologist that I can now resume activity. I ran today (around 3 miles) and walked 1 mile. I am so exited to get back into the grove of doing what I love to do...moving my body. I lost so much muscle mass during this two month period, I also managed to gain 10 lbs. I have to get back to discipline and action. I feel like I have been given a second chance and a new heart to prove it. It was a wakening to eat healthy and take care of the body that blesses me every day with life.
