its been getting colder so this weekend we moved the treadmill inside!
I will be running later this afternoon :)
Yesterday was to be the day i ran my marathon. I am so glad i decided not to go. With my Dad having a stroke last week.. it would have been even more stressful to have been traveling to the race. I was so happy yesterday morning to be sitting in church instead of at the starting line where it was prob 34 degrees and really really crowded. (two things i really dont like.. cold and large crowds :)
This past weekend we celebrated not going by driving up the road a bit to a small town that has a GREAT art gallery and shops:) I had such a relaxing day on saturday and really celebrated with my sister and friends :)
It seems I have been having art flowing like crazy these last few weeks. I have always been an artist but have never taken it seriously. The combination of being on my back for a month and going to the DMA has rekindled my love and passion for art. I made a promise to myself a few weeks ago to "do art everyday" .. just like i made a promise to myself 2 years ago to "do something active every day" . My journey in fitness is such a spring board for so many things in life it seems... Interesting how when you take care, take time, and focus on progress not perfection . it can bleed through to all areas of life :)
:)
this is all for now.. I am off to work on my "handsome prince" and will post later this afternoon that I ran on the treadmill :)
UPDATE::::
I just finished running on the treadmill. I ran while i watch part of a tv show on my laptop :) .. then I did crunches and leg lifts afterward while watching some short videos from the biggest looser.. talk about inspiring! so cool
"bad" news though I can already feel how sore i will be tomorrow ... yikes a rama!
