BIG Milestones and Giveaways!

I had a 5K on the treadmill planned for tonight. Little Diva had dance class, it was bath night for the kiddos and both hubby and I needed to workout. The multi-tasking mama that I am, asked hubby to take Little Diva to dance class so that I could workout with Little Dude. This way I could bathe them and enjoy the bedtime routine with them while he worked out.



Little Dude went downstairs with me while I worked out and for some odd reason wanted to play with his sister's Polly Pockets while I ran. They entertained him the entire time and I never had to stop the treadmill once. What a good boy! I did have to put Polly Pocket's limo together three times while I ran -- somehow managing to assemble it each time while my feet were moving under me!!!!



I realized tonight that I had 4.5 miles left until I reached 400 miles for the year!! So, I added an additional 1.4 miles onto my 5K treadmill run.


40:17 minutes and 4.5 miles later .........







I REACHED 400 MILES FOR THE YEAR!!!

I have found that hitting milestones like this have given me a little incentive and have helped me add a few extra steps to my workouts ... helping me rack up the miles.



Tonight's after workout glow!! Feelin' good and accomplished!

I realized I have the perfect Bondi Band to match the technical shirt I received in my goody bag at the Disney Princess Half Marathon last month!!


LITTLE DUDE LOVES WORKING OUT WITH MOMMY!

  8. Way to go. I would love to be at 400 miles - I am at 1/2 that. I have got to pick up the pace - or I won't make 1000 miles by year end. I am trying to do that this week and am only being marginally successful. Oh well - I will stick to it and hopefully the warmer weather (when it comes back) will help. Here's hoping next wed. works out and we get to meet up. ;-)

  11. Great job on 400 miles! And on over 200 followers! I am beginning to think I will have to do a giveaway to get more followers. :) That is what running moms seem to enjoy!

    Polly Pockets - a very popular activity at our house too. (Even with the boys! Which I think is pretty funny!)

    Have a great weekend.

    Judi :)
