It's 50 Flippin Degrees Out There!

Boy have I found a whole new kind of mental obsticle for running.

As if just not feeling like it somedays isn't enough, it was 50 degrees out there when I headed out this evening. "I don't friggin think so!" said one side of my brain. "Yes, you will!" said the other.... The next thing I knew I was catapulted out the door by my overachieving body!

I'm glad I went. It was a really great run. Especially with the abundance of Christmas lights out!! I do have to say, some of them sure are tacky! But some are the classic image of a winter wonderland; Can't wait to get our up this weekend :)

Fruits, Veggies, & Cold Weather!

Today, I got all my fruits & veggies in for my F&V Point for the HBBC! Even though I did have to throw the last 2 servings on my Sunday family make it yourself pizza. Which, by the way was awesome! I always use just plain tomato sauce with herbs... it's just better for you. Ingredients- organic tomatoes and from the earth herbs.... good stuff that I can pronounce. Tonight I added low fat mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, and sliced asparagus! YUM!!

Anyway, I headed out for my 2miler tonight and it was soooo cold :) It's a crazy change, but welcomed. It makes me even more excited about our first fall/winter as a family. These are good times, folks! My run was great. My hip has been feeling much better in the past week. I think it really needed a break, some rest. I have just been going out there and running. I mean really running. Not pacing myself, just feeling it. So nice. I am looking for my next race, I think I've found one but I'm not in a hurry. This past year I've completed my first two half marathons and improved in so many ways. I'm excited about my past year in running and can't wait to see what I dig up for next year!

Eat your Fruits & Veggies kiddies - Stay warm!!

Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge

Hello! Hello! Man, I sure sucked at keeping this up! Oh well, I'm back now to chronicle more of my journey in running, staying fit and gracefully getting older!

Let's just get right to it. Today was the first day of the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge aka the HBBC! I'm pretty excited about this, it just looks fun and any motivation around the holidays is gladly accepted :) Let me know if any of you decide to do it too. That would be so fun!







How did today go? Hahaha, I earned 4 points, not exactly what I planned! I basically ate like poo, laid around and then made up for it doing an hour of Cardio X :)

Not much more to say now. I'm looking for my next race. I enjoy taking it easy for awhile after a race, but then it's time to get moving again.

Happy Healthy Holidays Everyone!!
