cross training

okay, so i'm supposed to cross train, right? well, there is not much i can choose from. i mean, i have to lug around a 30 pound 2 year old. so, we are biking. i already had a seat thing attached to the back of my bike from last year (when i rode a whole two times)...the hubby filled up my tires and off we went. it is HARD!! uphill is killer. i was huffing and puffing the whole time, but we did 4 miles at a 10 mph pace (the hubby has one of those speedometer things). so, we hook up our new-to-us bike trailer to kev's bike so HE could lug her around. he said it was a nice easy ride. but guess what? i STILL thought it was hard. going up a super steep hill today really didn't help. i had wanted to run 3 miles after, but that was a no go. yeah right, my legs would have fallen off. so, just 4 miles on the bike. 3 mile run tomorrow, 4 mile run on monday. rain or shine (but hopefully cloudy or dusk!!!)

i'm baaaaaaack!

Well, a lot has changed since the last time I posted. I moved, I got married....and I got out of shape (that was before the whole marriage thing, though). But, me and the hubbers signed up for the Monster Dash on October 30th. So, commence training! We started on last Tuesday, July 20th. I waited this long to post to make sure we were actually running. But its been a week, so its official now. We started off with 2 miles all week....I ran 4 times, Kev ran 3, I think. Today we started with 3 miles. My legs are killing me and it is super hot, but I am getting it done. We also started watching portion sizes and fat and carbs and stuff. Not super crazy, but pretty darn healthy, if you ask me. I will have to take pictures so I can see the difference at the end of training. Kevin has already lost a ton of weight, it figures. Well, thats all for now.
