day 219

Well friend, I was looking forward to another walk around my parents lake today. The morning started off like normal, crazy as usual. Then during church Lexi had a seizure. It was horrible & we couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. It was a stressful, emotional, draining day. I didn't get my 30 minutes in. I barely managed to make it through the day! I guess it's just a reminder that life has a way of happening while we're busy making other plans.

Happy trails,

Jessy

Day 217

I hit the treadmill during naptime thinking I should run 3 miles before the run on Saturday, but I just didn't have it in me...ran 2 miles in 20 minutes...the other 10 minutes I just walked!

day 217

Oh how I love cooler weather and long walks with my hubby. This 30 minutes turned into about 45 because the road around the lake was just too beautiful to stop walking.

Happy trails,

Jessy

I had a little running partner join me for my 30 minutes today. We had to practice for our races this weekend! :)

Loving these cool evening walks! Thinking I need to start running since I'll be around Lincoln for the 5K Mud Run on the 28th, but this walking business is pretty nice! :)

Happy trails,

Day 215

I got an unexpected walk in the morning following the boys around on the block a few times! I didn't think that they'd last 30 minutes! Nice surprise for Mommy! Now I have naptime to pay bills...actually I think I'd rather run! :P

day 214

Another wonderful walk with my hubby. Having grandparents around is pretty handy! :)

Happy trails,

Day 214

Back to the treadmill with a book! Luckily, Mom is still here so she could get Jude when he woke up from his nap way too soon again!! When is this child going to learn that sleeping is a GOOD thing!?!?

Day 213

Okay friend, I was the closest I ever have been to calling you and telling you I quit today! I had one seriously bad mood going on!! Usually a week before a race, I have a lot of motivation and I had NONE!!! It must have been God acting through my friend Noel when she texted me as I was pigging out on BBQ to see if I wanted to go for a run! I agreed half-heartedly! I figured it wouldn't be a great run with a tummy full of way too much food, but I think my negative energy fueled my run. I completely forgot to start my watch, but we ran for nearly 3 miles before I was plagued with a cramp thanks to my full stomach! I felt much happier post-run and I didn't want to quit anymore! :)

day 213

Greg and I were able to get out for a walk together this evening. How we enjoyed the sunset, cool breeze, and catching up during this crazy time!

Happy trails,

Jessy

Day 212

My walk today consisted of following Dax the engineer around the "train tracks" of the Sunken Gardens! Man, that kid has a lot of energy!!!

day 212

Yay! I had walking partners today!
