5 Weeks

Lyndsee earned a special treat for doing her "5 weeks." For those who are around her you know that she decided to do "5 weeks with no sugar." She decided this totally on her own and completely stuck to it! Scott and I joined her, because we didn't feel right eating sugar when our 7 year old was abstaining. We took Sundays off and made some yummy desserts. Her teachers and friends mothers were amazed at her, she wouldn't even eat teddy grahams. She continues to make healthier choices and I'm totally proud of her. So Scott and I told her she could have some sort of a reward and she chose horseback riding. We went to Cave Creek stables (north of Scott's work in Scottsdale) and took a two hour trail ride through the beautiful Sonoran Desert. We had a great time, but Lyndsee wished her horse would have galloped a little more, they were quite tame. I think she enjoyed meeting her dad for lunch and seeing his office almost as much as the trail ride.

Scott, Lyndsee and Logan's Hike

Check out this link with pictures and a map of Scott's hike today with Lyndsee and Logan. They had a great time.

I went running and did about 12 miles in Las Sendas (we run up there to get in some hill work.) It was a fun trip with Lisa, Sharon, Lindy, Karen and Sarah. After I picked Brianna up from ice skating and then we went shopping later. She owes me big time for the cute coat and purse I bought her. If she doesn't behave I'm taking the purse back. :)

New York

We're going to New York! Scott has a conference there in April so we are tagging along. We will go out on a Thursday night and come home the next Thursday morning. Scott will be in his conference for three days but we will still have 3 days all together to explore the city and I'll have three other days to explore with just the kids. I'm so excited! We will be going April 15 - 22nd and I'll need tips on what to do while we're there so let me know.

Happy Wednesday. :)

Exercise x 3

On Tuesday mornings I run early with my friends. This morning I ran 5 miles at 5:40 am. We are training for the Ragnar relay so we decided to run again today - to get our bodies used to multiple runs in a day. So I ran 3 miles at 10:15 am with Lisa. Then I got a text from Lindy (who ran the first run with me and saw me running the second time.) She said if I was such a hard core runner I could come to her cycle class at 12:15 too. Never to pass up a challenge, I went.

Now I'm tired. I need a shower. I want to go back to bed...but what I really need to do is all that stuff I should have been doing during workouts number two and three!
