I love to run!

Today I was reminded again why I love to run! It was very muggy out but thankfully the sun wasn't shining, so it wasn't too bad during my run (though I was very sweaty by the end!!). :) I am thankful for my wonderful parents who love a visit with Jake so I can get out and run! I try not to ever take that for granted. I know it's so tough to squeeze in the time to run and work out when you're a busy mom!!

I was able to run out near our neighborhood on the beautiful country roads. I love looking around and seeing the beautiful mountains, people's pretty flowers, and quaint country homes. Oh how I love South Carolina! I had a pretty good 4 mile run. It was my first run in a week, so I was glad it wasn't too bad of a run. My husband and I were both off work last week so we did a lot of things around the house and went on a mini vacation. I did some strength training but didn't run at all and I missed it!! We did, however, have a great work out at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte. Our favorite activities were rafting and kayaking. It was amazing and so much fun!!

Then right after my son went down for his "nap" (he really doesn't think he needs to nap anymore now that he's 13 1/2 months) :), I did level 2 of the 30 Day Shred. I love that DVD! Now I'm going to catch up on a little work before I head back to the office tomorrow, pack lunches, and get ready for Girl's Night Out!
