A Family Who Moves Together…

10 Comments

I didn’t run or do Pilates! Instead we had family day at the gym.  Tate, my little brother, little sister, and I hit the YMCA to work-it-out.  It was 45 minutes on the elliptical for me.  I haven’t been a gym goer since I left for Peru two years ago and while I enjoy it every now and then I have grown more fond of non-gym workouts.  It was really perfect for today though.

Late afternoon the sun came out (it never got above freezing though) and two of my sister’s and I bundled up for a walk.

The three of us haven’t been together for 15 months!

I am still walking a little funny due to some very sore hamstrings. 🙁

This gorgeous farm is right on the edge of town.

↑ Main street of our quaint town.  We actually grew up on a farm 40 minutes south of here but this was our town, where we came for dance classes and Chinese food.

Tonight Tate and I are going to his brother and sister-in-laws for Sunday night dinner.  I am excited to see our 3 1/2 month old nephew!

What did you do today?  Paddle boarding? Yoga? Running? Exercise TV?

because you get out of it what you put into it.

Sleepy Sunday

9 Comments

Man, I am such an old crank sometimes.  Sad thing is, I’ve been this way at least since my early twenties!   I love a good party but when I am ready for bed, that’s it, I want peace and quiet.

I was the first in bed last night, even before my 13 year old sister with a cold.  Bad insomnia over the last week has worn me down and I was done.  But, unfortunately, I was the only one.

Things quieted down shortly after midnight and I did end up getting some sleep but I am not feeling super fresh this morning.   I am going to be very open with my workout plan today.

I will EITHER

  • take a long walk and do Pilates

OR

  • run

There is a lot more snow here in West Virginia than there was in Charlottesville and running might be a bit of a challenge.   I am hoping that I can go to the local YMCA but I’m not even sure it’s open on a Sunday in this little town.  We’ll see, I will get some exercise in one way or another.

What’s your plan? COMMENT COMMIT Day 7!!!
