I went on a late afternoon jog ALL BY MYSELF -it was nice to have that time alone, outdoors, doing something active...even if it was a bit chilly.
I jogged up Forest Ave. AND Cedar Hill...my lungs were burning because of the cold air...I turned into Buffalo Park, stretched, and did (5) sets of 20 walking lunges and then I headed for home at a brisk walk. As I was going down the trail, Spice Girls "Wanna Be" ? came on... I was totally lip synching and dancing to it...and then a runner came up behind me and I jumped 5 ft....kinda embarrassing.

4 miles OUTSIDE w/ boys in tow... It was fun -we went up to Buffalo Park again.

Jess was home, so I knew I better seize the moment if I wanted a workout OUTSIDE!
I took Kona girl on a 4 mi. run up Mars Hill. She had fun chasing birds and squirrels,
and pulling me up the trail! (She wasn't into taking a photo!)

I LOVE being outside (when the stars align to let me do so.) And I
know I need to take every opportunity while the weather is still nice.

Nothing feels better than guzzling down a huge glass of ice water
after a run! MMMMM! :)

Then I made myself a protein shake...
-Water, blueberries, 1/2 banana, 2 frozen apricots, 1 spoonful of vanilla low-fat yogurt, and 1 heaping scoop of protein powder. y u m m y.

P.S. I REALLY need to update my ipod!!!!!!

Saturday I took the boys on a 4 mile route UP to Buffalo Park via the Urban Trail.
Bodie has serious stamina. He made my mother heart proud.

Pre-departure...

The trails of Buffalo Park...

It was fun. Then we went to the Athletic Club to catch a yoga
class that, come to find out, wasn't happening that day - so I
held my own session. Yoga is invigorating.
