Fitness Friday: Week 20

This last week, when I was in Texas I was able to run last Saturday for 4 miles. On Tuesday morning, I ran 20 minutes and biked 20 minutes. But I didn't work out 4 times, I only worked out twice.

Goal for this week: get back into swimming and make a point to get back on my training schedule.

Happy weekend! Pin It

Fitness Friday: Weeks 18 and 19

So since last Saturday I've been hanging out with the cutest of all cutes.. my little baby nephew Brannon! I came to visit my sister who lives in Flower Mound (Dallas), TX and got to see my sweet baby nephew:

He is such a cutie!! I have had so much fun hanging out with my sister and my Mom and just getting some good family time.

Here is an update from the fitness perspective: my goal at the beginning of the year was to work out 3 x per week for the months of January, February, March and April, then 4 x per week for the months of May, June, July, and August and then 5 x per week for the month of September, October, November and December.

So now that May is here: time to start picking it up a notch! Truth be told, last week I did not work out AT ALL. I think what is hard is when your routine is thrown off ... getting ready for this trip made it hard to work out. But, this last week since I've been in Texas: I went for an hour long walk with Brannon on Monday, an hour long walk on Tuesday, and yesterday I went biking with my Mom. So, I worked out a total of 3 times. My goal for next week is to make sure that I work out 4 times total.

Yesterday, I went with my Mom to this great store called Run On! and my Mom got me some new Brooks running shoes:


I love them and can't WAIT to use them! I love the neon laces and they are SO comfortable. I am still preparing for my sprint triathlon on June 15, 2013. These shoes will get me motivated to keep running. I haven't been able to swim while in Texas but the walking and biking has been beneficial for sure!

When I get back, I gotta kick it in high gear to get back on track with my training and prepare for June 15. For now, though, I am going to keep enjoying snuggle time with my baby nephew :) :)
