My Morning Run

Lately, it's all I can do to get to the gym in the mornings. I have had good days and bad days and every day around 4:00 p.m., the nausea sets in something fierce. Well, yesterday I was supposed to meet my GBFFL (gym best friend for life...hehe), Melanie, but getting up at 5:30 was not making my tummy happy, so I slept in. After getting the kids off to school around 8 a.m., I knew I had to get my exercise in and it kept nagging at me that I missed my workout that morning. (gotta love good habits) I asked Rachel and Joe if they wanted to go on a long bike ride and they excitedly agreed. So, I put on my running shoes and we set off. I was surprised at how well they did! They stayed behind me as I ran and the only time they complained was when we were at the end of a 1 mile hill. Joe informed me he wanted to go home...I told him he could get off his bike and run with me and he said "no way! That would be harder!" They were excited to tell Daddy and Hailey and Abby they went outside the neighborhood on a long bike ride (lol...only about 3 miles). It was fun! I might just miss the gym and do that again!

Yea...Pretty Much I am impressed that you even have the strength or energy to even work out. Your one determined woman! I bet my Sister is going through withdrawls not having her work out partner! SHe is putting me on a plan at the end of my pregnancy so maybe that will keep her busy!

I am SO impressed...ONLY 3 miles?! Geez, I need to move out to Utah soon so I can be influenced by friends like you! I am 20 weeks and it's still a struggle to get up and do my daily duties! You go girl! You have GREAT determination!

I wish I could get mmy kids to do that. I would love not having to get up with the sun to run. I miss running with you at those early hours.
