Left at 6:15am. about a mile from home I saw storm rolling in to the north and the little bit of sun disappearing in the south west. Got home right before the snow hit!

I read this great article the other day.

http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=24900265&nid=1009&title=being-a-fit-mom-doesnt-mean-i-have-to-be-a-selfish-mom

I found it hilarious that when I read some of the comments on ksl (which I don't normally do) there was one Mom (or Dad I guess) opposed to the article who said this and I highlighted my favorite parts.

"Agree, fitness is great, but as usual too much of a good thing isn't. There are obviously some Moms (and Dads) who take this WAY too far, which is probably where the original article was coming from. You don't have to run marathons to be fit, you don't have to have a six-pack to be fit, and you don't have to spend significant amounts of time exercising when you could be bonding with your kids to be fit.

Kids are a big commitment and require A LOT of attention both in quality and quantity, and I'm not sure some parents really take that seriously enough. Good hobbies have to be cut back and in some cases temporarily abandoned. Fitness needs to happen, but a parent's first priority needs to be their kids not knocking ten minutes off their last Ragnar time."

 SO I trained for my first marathon when my 5 th child was almost a yr and it was the perfect time for me and my family. I also did the majority of my running early morning and Sat my husband was with the kids. My kids were so impressed that there Mom ran a marathon and so was I! And the Ragnar comment made me laugh. My only desire, and I think other runners feel the same, is to set a PR for a half or full marathon (or 5k, 10k), not for RAGNAR. That race is just for FUN right?? Just my opinion. REAL Awesome amazing runners on here don't even run Ragnar.

"Filthy Fifty" in 28 something minutes cause I accidentally reset my timer.

For time:
50 Box jump, 18" (16 and 1/2 inches and I jumped 30 and stepped the rest)
50 Jump jacks
50 Kettlebell swings, 15 lbs
50 Walking lunges
50 Knees to elbows (on the floor, that was hard!)
50 Push press, 20lbs
50 Back extensions (Supermans)
50 Wall ball shots, 10 lb ball (20 lb thrusters)
50 Crossfit sit-ups
50 Jump rope (100 w/o jump rope)

Happy Birthday to my 8 yr old!!!

35:02 AP 10:50 

My lower body is quite sore from Crossfit and I ran flat the whole time.

20 min of yoga

I have to run 80 minutes for Cami's baptism tomorrow. Yep I do.

1:20:29 AP 10:44

This was a really, really, really hard Saturday late afternoon run. I was hot and my lower body was sore the entire time. But I did it. Hopefully it will just make me stronger for Ragnar. My daughter was baptized this morning and it was a great day! Then a soccer game at 1pm.

Walked .60 miles home.

Well I haven't run 20 miles in a week since Sept. 2012. Maybe that's why it was so hard.
