Weekend update

Friday night Katelynn and I decided to start some back to school shopping. It's crazy for me to think that I will have a high schooler!! Ugh! Makes me feel old lol

Saturday morning I woke up early and went to the gym for a 20 minute elliptical workout and an arm workout. Last week I focused on working out more and I can already see a difference. This has encouraged me even more. I found some more workouts this weekend to do this week. After the gym, I hit the local Farmer's market and loaded up on some goodies. Then the rest of the day I spent relaxing by the pool. 

Sunday morning I decided to get in a 3 mile run and my goodness it was too hot. I basically ran in circles at the park just to stay in the shade.  After my run, I came home and did my meal prep for the week. This week I will be focusing on not only working out more but really cleaning up my eating. I do really good for the most part on eating healthy but a few times a week I eat sandwiches for lunch with a lot of tortilla chips. Soo this week there is not a single chip in my house LOL  Out of sight out of mind. This will be my lunch for the week. Grilled chicken breast, broccoli and grilled squash.

Weekend update

Saturday I ran in the Home of Hope 5K at the Branson Landing. It was the first race that this happened...

My watch and official time were different and the distance was longer than 3.1 miles. I don't know if my watch time was correct or the official time?! Oh well I survived! It was a hot one too! I may not do another race until September.  My official time was 41:43/mi 13:27/mi. I came in 4th in my age group and 44th overall. 

After the race a friend and I went to Eureka Springs to have lunch and walk around. We went to my favorite Mexican Restaurant, Casa Colina. Oh my goodness they have the best crepes ever!!! 

I just love the little town of Eureka Springs. There is always something to look at and lots of good places to eat!

Love this painting on the stairs

Weekend update

Friday night I did another first. I ran a 5K in a mohawk wig LOL The 5K was a glow run so no timing involved. Just a fun run for a good cause. We did get first place for the best costumes!

Saturday was clean the house day. I have neglected house work the past few weeks so I dedicated Saturday to stay home and work on that. Hubby and I even stayed home for our date night. We smoked ribs and just had a nice relaxing evening at home.

Fourth of July weekend

Monday!? Already?! It was soo nice to have a 3 day weekend. We went to the Lake on Friday and the pool on Saturday and Sunday. It was soo nice to have fun/relaxing weekend. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

MID WEEK CATCH UP

I ran 5 miles on Monday morning! Huge accomplishment for me!I seriously never thought I would be running 3 miles let alone 5. I can tell each week that I am getting stronger. I have really been focusing on cross training lately. One of our local yoga places started offering BARRE this week so I did that on Tuesday. It was such a great class! I know the lady(Mary-my running mentor) that teaches the class and she makes it soo fun. I will admit I am very sore today but in all the right places. 

My week so far:

Monday - 5 miles @ 11:18/mi

Tuesday - BARRE class

Wednesday - 3 miles which included Fartleks

I need to start browsing local races and get another one in the works.
