Fit & Fabulous #3

I had a not so great week when it comes to staying fit. With Easter being last Sunday I was finally able to eat sweets again after giving them up for the Lenten season and my self control was very week with all the Easter candy we brought home. I ate all the Snickers out of it so I think I'm good for awhile now! I didn't eat so great, but I did consume most of my water which was good. On a more positive note. . . I did run two times.. once 20 minutes and the other 25 minutes and and was able to run two miles. I felt good about that and I'm into week 7 of the Cto5K. I tried to run another day but a storm was on top of me all of a sudden and I retreated to my house after ten minutes. I got one Chris Freytag workout in and went for a long walk with a friend so I guess I did pretty good - just not as well as I have been doing in the past! I really want to get back to at least five days a week working out and hopefully that can happen with this up coming week.. it's just been really, really busy here!


My mood when it comes to exercise this week.

I'm also excited because now three of my sisters are doing the Cto5K plan as well as one of my sisters boyfriend and they're hoping to join my husband and I (as well as another friend of mine for sure) in all of our first 5k in July. I'm excited to have motivated them to want to try running and to have Team Fit & Fabulous running this summer. My husband has also been running a lot, he's pretty fit anyway (he plays roller hockey) but I love to do something with my husband!

My true highlight is that I registered for my first race which will be next Saturday. It's only a 3K but you have to start somewhere right? Totally excited about that!! Hopefully I can get a few more runs in this week for training purposes so I'm set when it comes Saturday afternoon.

How did you all do? Do any of you run with your kids in strollers? I'm finding it a lot more challenging when I take them (either in the double or in a single).

  1. I was just getting into running again and then found out I was pregnant. Probably not a whole lot of running will be going on this summer. Jogging on the gym treadmill and elliptical sure, but not much running. Oh well, Baby's due in December so NEXT summer!!!

  2. Heather, how exciting! I think a baby is way more exciting then running so enjoy every bit of it. :)
