New Arrival

Well @ 7:14am my new nephew arrived.....7lbs 10oz and 20" long.....he is a cutie! He was so calm in the nursery, he never cried the entire time they were messing with him, not even when they bathed him......hopefully he will remain the calm, relaxed baby we was in the nursery for the days and months to come....Mom is doing well too! This weekend will be busy with me trying to get as many miles in as I can before the heat and humidity takes hold.......Saturday, Sunday & Monday, I plan on an early start and hope to get 8.8 miles a day under my feet.....Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend and holiday!

Week #22 half way done

Last night......SPIN CLASS!....it has been a week since my last spin class and we did an endurance class and I think that is my favorite.....I will not be exercising tonight, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of my nephew, so I will be heading over to the hospital after work........

Advance Burn Class

Class was great last night....we did a little more cardio this time and cut back on the weights, there will be more weights on Thursday pm......No walking today, will try to get some miles in on Friday, if not, I have Saturday, Sunday and Monday to get them in, until tomorrow! Have a great day!

The beginning of Week #22

Well, this antibiotic is really kicking my tail.......I started to feel my heart race and at certain times of the day, I felt like I had a really high temp....like my head was on fire.....got to reading the insert you get with your RX and yep, those are the side effects of this med.....so, looks like I'll be feeling weird for another 7 days.....Last night I was able to get back into my routine and go back to Zumba class...Our normal instructor was out herself for a couple of weeks and I missed the next two classes after she returned, so it was good to get back to normal...I have taken several other classes with other instructors and I think Navy is the best....she is all smiles and so energetic....I just love her class even though I will never be able to move the way she does.....I try not to look in the mirror while we are dancing because it is soooo funny...as class goes on, I'm thinking hey, I can move like Navy, then look in the mirror and NOT....I'm looking like a white girl, no rhythm.....LOL!....but hey I am a white girl with no rhythm....

Last day of Week #23

This was the last day for me to get my miles in for the week, after yesterday's slight disappointment and Friday's no show, I knew I had to push myself today....got to the park @ 6:55am and started my task....much nicer that Saturday and a bit cooler....I am definitely going to have to start earlier that 8am on the weekends to avoid the heat....at 3 miles, I took a 5 min break and drank my water, then again @ 6 miles....I really felt as thought I could do another 3 miles, so I started out again....by the time I reached 8.8 miles, it was after 9 and the humidity was bad, so as I rounded the corner on the last lap, I stopped to have some more water and take another breather....I decided to listen to my body and just call it a day....after all I do have a respiratory infection and I could really feel it today when I took a deep breath.....I feel good that I was able to get the 8.8 miles in and that gives me a great total for the week.....WooHoo!....

Day #13

Well, since yesterday was a flop I was eager to get to the park and get some miles under my feet....I got up early to avoid the heat, but wanted to get some clothes on the line before I went, so I didn't get to the park until 8:30....It was very humid and I was surely hoping for a breeze, but that didn't happen....As I started walking, the first 3 miles were okay....I stopped and had a 5 min break and drank my first bottle of water....the 4th mile went okay too, but man I was sweating....the 5th mile, still okay, but the 6th mile, I didn't think I was going to finish....my shirt, pants and everything underneath those were soaking wet.....just out of the washer wet......I stopped after the 6th and had another bottle of water and to relax a bit before I went home.....I really wanted to get another lap in, but just couldn't bring myself to do it...I will have to try again tomorrow...maybe with an earlier start it won't be so hot....

Day #12 Week 23

Well, today started out with good intentions.....but my ear started to ache and as the day progressed, it got worse, so I decided to stop by the clinic and just get checked because I knew I had a big walking weekend and I surely don't need to be sick...I have an upper respiratory infection, thank goodness I went early....with my asthma, if I would have waited it could have gotten really bad....so, after a shot in the rump and some antibiotics, I went home instead of walking.....
