Resting



Hey everyone! It has been such a long time since I wrote, but that doesn't mean i haven't been working out! I actually just ran a half marathon through the vineyards of central California! It was beautiful and i will be doing many more.

The run was awesome--somewhat hilly, but too gorgeous to recognize my uncomfortability. I really enjoyed my time with the Lord while running. It was so refreshing just being in nature with him. The race was small-probably 400 people so i always felt i was running by myself after we all had our paces. I finished in 2 hrs and 24 minutes. I guess that's pretty decent for a first-timer. I only walked once and it was on mile 12 uphill. I have been resting ever since my race (i've only ran once) but i was very pleased with the quick recovery of a half-marathon. I will be doing more for sure...and hopefully, a full within the next year and a half. Here is a picture or two!

Hope everyone is doing well. Keep it up during the holidays!

new quick work out

Rachel Barry introduced me to the 30 day shred my Jillian Michaels. I have only done it for four days but it is wonderful and here is why. There are three levels so it is a great work out for any level. Each work out is 20 minutes and little more with the cool down. and best of all the video is at Walmart for only 10 dollars. I love quick work outs. When it is over I am drenched in sweat and feel like I just ran five miles. It is awesome!!
How are you girls doing?? The holidays are here and so is all the good food. Now I do not suggest going on a diet during the holidays but I do suggest working out. don't skip them because you are busy.
