Yesterday, I decided to go to the YMCA for my Saturday six miler. I felt absolutely great three miles in and decided to up it to seven, so that I would get at least 30 miles in for the week. Those treadmills are just awesome. I don't understand how I can run 7.5-8.5 MPH for the last three miles and it feels like nothing??? I feel like I'm dragging at my 6.6 MPH average on our treadmill at home (we purchased it circa 2000, and have 1,000's of miles on it, so I'm sure that has something to do with it!!). I was thinking about the week ahead and remembered that Little Diva had piano lessons at Grandma's on Sunday afternoon and the other local YMCA is located just down the street (though I've never visited it). So on a whim, I decided to up my Saturday run to eight miles (I was feeling good!) and swap my six miler to Sunday. I got eight miles in at the YMCA at about 69 minutes!! I am looking forward to heading to the other YMCA for an hour to get six miles in today while Little Diva is practicing piano with my mother-in-law. And, the best thing is that I don't have to feel guilty because, no one will miss me for that hour. I still feel the mama guilt, at times. Multi-Tasking is great!!!
I sweet package arrived in the mail yesterday. Running skirts sent Little Diva and I these sweet leopard print running skirts for our Disney races!!! I can't wait for us to be Diva Twins at Walt Disney World. I even have the perfect matching Bondi Band! The girls' mini skirts are so darn adorable!! You'll see plenty of pictures of these in action in my race and product review!!The kids and I had a great time on Friday when Little Diva was off of school and visited Legacy Academy, and splurged at QDoba and Cold Stone Creamery for lunch -- It's always nice when the kids cooperate and have smiles on their faces the entire time! Little Diva is off of school again tomorrow, yipee! I am planning on getting in six miles in the morning while the three of us watch Disney Channel cartoons after breakfast. Then, hubby and I are off to parent/teacher conferences in the afternoon and then on to a date to Milwaukee to see John Mayer in concert (for the third time). Then two days of work and we're off on our plane to Orlando -- yipee!!
OH my gosh - that outfit is tooooo cute - you and you little diva will look fabulous. I can't wait to see pic's. I am going to order some Bondi Bands today - they are adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a great couple of days planned. enjoy.
I would love to see John Mayer - I have to keep my eyes open for concerts near by. Last concert we went to - was summerfest last year. KidRock and Lynyrd Skynyrd (being a little older - we were there to see Skynyrd - but also enjoyed rocking out to Kid Rock)
Multi-tasking - essential quality for mom's on the go.
You are going to have a great time at Disney. We were there two times when our boys were younger.
Have fun and make some memories!!!!
You have a lot of fun things coming up! Enjoy! Can't wait to see the pics.
ReplyDeleteJamie - I have that skirt with black down the sides. I wore it in my race today! Love it. When I got your email I figured that was the skirt you were talking about.
ReplyDeleteAnd you totally made me want to go get some Qdoba! Maybe for lunch ...
I have the same problem on different treadmills--some I am super fast on others not so much! Thanks for the comment, too :)
ReplyDeleteawesome running skirt! you guys are going to look adorable!
ReplyDeleteAdorable outfit! I can't wait to hear the reviews on the running skirt....and see it in action!
ReplyDeleteThat is a mighty cute outfit! Can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteI've also noticed that treadmills vary in difficulty of running and impact. The important thing is getting the miles in!
Hoping that someday I enjoy running like you do so I can wear those adorable outfits!
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting the miles in. I hope you've been able to do some outside training...Running the roads is so different from the treadmill. Either way I'm sure you'll do great.
ReplyDeleteI love the outfits! You guys are going to be very stylish out there running your races!
Just stumbled upon your blog. CUTE outfit for the disney half. I'm going to be there also, it's my first half so I'm excited and nervous. Happy running :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit and great job on the treadmill! I just LOVE when I have a good run! It just makes for an AWESOME FEELING!
