I joined a Gym

I have not run a whole lot since last Wednesday but I joined a gym last night. I went over to check Pure Fitness where my home girl Viv teaches spin and I loved the club, it is for women only. So bring on the fitness.

Track workout

I had a killer track work out Tuesday night. 6 X 800's in 90 something heat/humidity. I am loving working out with the tri group. I may even have someone helping me look for a starter bike. After I find that maybe I will try some swimming.

See you on the roads.

Memorial Weekend

Let's just say this year was a lot different than past, usually I am on the lake in a boat drinking beer or at the beach drinking beer. This labor day we stayed at home, Thursday through Saturday I was helping out with a princess party for my favorite nieces. I participated in making 40 tissue puffy balls, 40 butterfly cupcakes and pulling off the best princes party ever. So am I growing up? Hell no, I just had more important priorities this year, there is plenty of time to get in a boat, layout and drink beer.

Other things that happened this weekend include the birth of my cousin's baby girl. Awh. Congrats to Ashley.

On a sad note a little angel that did not make it into this world but went to be with Jesus instead.

Finally I did not get out an run at all. Alot going on and when I was at home I just felt like resting. Back in the game tonight.

I did it!

I made it through spin yesterday after doing bootcamp in the am. I was dead tired when I got home, we made pork chops, salad, and spinach w/mushrooms for dinner as soon as I ate I hit the shower and to beddy by I went. I am contemplating my workout today, to skip it and make up tomorrow or to get it over with and rest tomorrow. This afternoon I am headed to Pamela's to spend then night with her and the kiddos. Saturday is the twins first b-day party so we will be making puff balls and other decorations for the party late in the night and all day tomorrow. I am hoping to try and fit my run in today before, but time wise is not looking good.

Keeping Up

I started running in July of 2007 when I had decided I needed to get back in shape. I joined Woodlands Fits and started meeting some fabulous friends. The past 2 years I have spent finding many things out about myself that I never thought possible. I have made the best friends and have met the best coaches. Until a couple of weeks ago I would run here and there and shoot for running at least 3 times a week and an occasional bootcamp. This has seemed to work for me quite well, in fact in helped me accomplish many races and several PR's. But I needed more, so 3 weeks ago I signed up for Strive- Kim Hager Sports, and it is like a whole new ball game. I have been keeping up with a 6 x's a week of running and cross training. I am learning about my heart rate, training in different zones and how to race stronger not harder. I am so thrilled for the chance to work work her and Bill this session.

Wed- spin class w/Viv
Thursday- rest
Fri- 3.5 miles 35 mins
Sat- bootcamp
Sun- 5.75 miles 60 mins

Prom Season

Ok I was tagged, so now I also tag you to upload a prom picture and tell your story.

I was dating this guy Jeff that was in collage at Iowa State University and promised to take me to my senior prom. (Notice only women in the picture) I got the dress, the shoes, tickets, and made plans for us to ride/eat with my friends and their dates. Well about 2 weeks before prom he disappeared, and would not return phone calls, so I ended up going with a "guy friend" and took pictures with the girls. A week after prom Jeff calls and makes up a lam-o excuse about finals and a sick grandparent. The bad thing was I was embarrassed cause I had been bragging about my "collage guy". But the good was I had the best time with my friends and did not end up in a fight at the end of the night. I moved from Iowa 3 weeks later. What was I thinking with my bangs? Ewh...
