He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

My hips and pubic bone were a bit tender after. Maybe it was too big of a jump too soon.

Did lunges while holding my baby. She didn't want to wait until I was done!:)

When I went to pick up my kids from school yesterday I was talking to a teacher I didn't know she looked at all of my kids and asked if I was the babysitter. HA Ha ha ha ha!

I have been eating super good for 2 weeks counting calories and all. I have only lost 3 lbs. So annoying!!!!!!

1 mi. just to warm up.

45 min. total body weights. I have been doing one legged squats. Wowza those kill but I sure love that I can feel it in my glutes. I hope that means they are shrinking.

My 3 yr old "worked out" along side me. We had fun dancing and making silly faces in between sets.

PM miles with Ana. When you have a new born you don't have much to do on weekend nights! :)

Felt really good. There are lots of hills where I live, I can tell I am getting stronger by running them.

PM with Ana. Atleast 2 miles uphill again. We were only going to do 8 but had a little extra time before we had to get home to our babies so we slipped one more in there.

AP 9:15 We were so proud of our pace. :)

Fed little miss at 9 PM and put her to bed then headed to the garage for a workout.

Ran 1 warm up mile.

Weights 40 min. I am able to go further down in my one legged squats. They are my favorite!!

1 nice slow mile to finish things off.

Then went inside to stretch.
