Day 304

I got on the treadmill during the boys' naptime determined to do a run, but a minute into it I was bored. ;) I decided to try out one of the "Performance Workouts" instead. Oh man, that was no joke!!! Yikes! I am not good at running on inclines...I think it'll be awhile before I attempt one of those again!! And then there was the bonus of walking around Trick or Treating...too bad all those calories will be going right back on with all this candy in my house!!!! ;) Happy Halloween!

day 304

Yay! I'm home...and oh so sleepy. I went for a quick walk/run with the kids. It was freezing outside, which is what made us turn our walk into a run! Looking forward to trick or treating tonight! Happy Halloween!

Happy trails,

Day 303

I was all snuggled up on the couch with my favorite blanket watching the Husker game when I decided that if I'm going to be in the house watching the game on this beautiful day anyway, I should get my 30 minutes out of the way. So I hopped on the treadmill. The team looked so much better this week...they motivated me to keep on moving. :)

day 303

I'm stuck at the lab today for my medical study. They really want us to be "couch potatoes" while we're here. On top of that, the medicine is not making me feel so great, so I just snuck in some walking in the courtyard. It was great to get out of the facility and get fresh air. A person can go crazy stuck inside that place!

Happy trails,

day 302

I'm doing a medical research study and tonight is my check-in. The requirements (beginning on Wednesday, actually) were that I'm not supposed to do any heavy exercising. Not exactly sure what that means, but to be on the safe side I just went for a slow walk with the kids. I did cheat a little bit with kickboxing on Wednesday so I hope that doesn't come back to bite me! :)

Day 302

Despite the wind, the temperature was much warmer today, so I decided to take advantage of it. The boys and I had an early lunch and then headed out for a good walk/bike ride around the park!

day 301

Another day of walking & enjoying the fall weather.

Day 301

Craig has been running on our treadmill, and the last couple days he's been excited about his progress. So, what can I say? He's kinda motivating! :) So, back to the treadmill for me today during naptime. Today I did 2.5 miles in 24:45!

day 300

Wow! Only 65 days to go! Woohoo! We spent 5 hours walking around the Omaha Zoo today. I had forgotten how great that zoo is. Not to mention how tired my feet & legs were when we got home. After a quick supper I headed out for another kickboxing class. Pretty sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow!

Happy trails,

Day 300!!!

65 more days and counting...
I ran today...2.5 miles in 25:21! Running was the last thing I wanted to do, but I needed it mentally and physically!

Day 299

Given the amount of Halloween candy I've already partaken of, I should have run today! But starting a new book while I walked on the treadmill sounded like a way better idea!!!! Maybe I'll run tomorrow!?!?

day 299

It was chilly this morning, but the kids needed a break from school so we bundled up. After running up & down the street a few times we went for a walk. We were all much happier (and able to focus better) when we got back.

Happy trails,

day 298

Ha! I'd say we definitely get an 'A' for effort today! :) It was great to catch up a bit in between wrangling all our crazy kiddos! :)

Happy trails,

Jessy

Day 298

It was so nice to get out for a walk with you...now, one of these times we should do it without the kids so we can actually have an un-interrupted conversation! ;)

day 297

Well, around 6pm I still hadn't gotten my 30 minutes in so Greg suggested I walk to HyVee and get a Redbox movie. I was a little skeptical at first, thinking it was too far. But off I went and throughly enjoyed it! Just like when I ran to the hardware store for a bathtub plug, it's great to do errands on foot vs. driving! The weather was perfect and it was good to have some time alone to think. Unfortunately I ended up getting a movie we've already seen! I'm a dork! But at least I got my walk done! :)

Happy trails,
