I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. 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.

Upper body weights with husband last night. He worked long hours yesterday. He got home around 9 and we went in the garage to "pump some iron!" It was really fun to workout and chat together. I let him lead the workout.

Blessing: Being a stay at home.. as monotonous as it may be some times I love to be with my kids. My husband and I spoke in church on Sunday on how to be an Eternal Family. It has been nice to ponder and think about those reminders this week.

Went to the gym. I have a trial membership this week. Not really sure if I want to stay.

20 min Elliptical

10 min row machine (this was really fun I want to get one for home)

lower body weights

Ran one mile

lower body toning

It was nice to do a little something different but I kind of did feel like a fish out of water. It took some bribing to get my 2 year old to stay at the day care. He thought when I said we were going to the gym he would be working out with me. He even brought his own towel. He works out with mom and dad at home so I am sure he figured that's what he would be doing when I said we were going to the gym. I don't know if the hassle of getting to the gym with a two yr old is worth it when I have gym equiptment at home, which I do use regularly. HMMM?

Blessing.... Knowing there is a God. Life would seem pretty meaningless and hard with out him.

My treadmill is stuck an a steep incline so I just walked a mile, it was not easy.

Jillina Micheals circuit workout Day 1.

Blessing: Kickball baseball... My husband went riding with some new friends. I had one of their wifes over so the kids could play. We played kickball baseball... Moms and little ones VS. Big boys. ( 9, 8, 6 yrs) We had  blast. We were laughing our butts off. We were sweatin like crazy too. The big boys beat us 10-6!! So FUN!
