New Kicks

I cannot believe I haven't posted this week. Maybe it's because I have been super busy. I have been feeling good this week with my training. Monday morning we ran 3.5 miles time was 40:40. Not great but it was a beautiful route. We started at Forsyth Park and winded through the pretty streets of downtown.

I hit up Fleet feet after work for new shoes. Lauren, kept saying I had to many miles on my Nikes? I thought they were fine but I always like a new purchase. We tried on numerous pairs but decided on the Mizuno Wave Rider 15. 

These aren't the color I got but I am not a huge fan of the way they looked but they felt good. I'm excited to try them out. If I find I don't like them, I'm going to trade them in for a pair of Nikes

I had a Jr.League meeting that night so I missed TRX. When I got home Randy was busy installing the new dishwasher!! Yay, I can't wait to see how it works.

Tuesday I decided to get a good Gym workout in. I headed to the Y. I did 30 min on the elliptical on Cross Training 2 option. Then I did a Fitness Buddy Ab workout and ended with some 30 Push ups. My arms were soar for sure on Wednesday.

Wednesday was our short run. We ran 3 miles around Daffin Park. I don't like running around the parks more than once but that's what the trainers wanted to do. Time was BAD and I didn't feel great running. I found myself begging for some time to walk... I need something to focus on. My time was 32 min and change. That afternoon I hit the gym. I got a quick 15 min elliptical session in before I went to TRX. It was a great workout.

Thursday I was planning on Yoga but we decided to cookout instead at Randy's moms. Once again, I forgot to take pictures. I have got to get better. I did make this beauty though! SOOO FRESH and SOO good. It was a hit.
