Exercise Tip of the Day- "GUILT" Its such an ugly word but something moms struggle with all the time. When it comes to exercise or taking care of our selves we would rather not, so we don't have to feel it. I am a working mother so the time that I'm not working I had always felt needed to be spent with my family. Well guess what? That's how I gained 30lbs in 3 months. I also realized how tired I was all of the time. I was short with my kids when they were causing problems all because I didn't feel good and didn't feel good about myself. I wasn't the kind of mom that my children deserved. I decided to take the guilt out and do it no matter what. It was amazing to me to see that my example of taking the time to exercise was starting to rub off on my kids. My 10 year old started a running group with 4 other boys in the neighborhood. My 6 year old was asking to lift weights with me and my 2 year old would try and do sit-ups. What wonderful examples we can be to our children just by taking the time to do something to make up feel better. If we don't take the time to take care of ourselves how on earth are we suppose to take care of our families.
My Training- I am getting so excited for the Cedar City Express 31 mile relay on Sat. This will be my first relay ever. Each leg is about 2.5-3.5 miles. You have 5 people on your team and each team member runs 2 legs. My team got together and drove the relay route. Holy Smokes! The route consists of running down the canyon, running on city streets, on dirt, up and down steep steep hills. Its going to be really challenging but so much fun.
Mon- run 5 miles with hills
Tues-run 5 miles work back & stomach
Wed- run 5 miles work upper body
REST FOR RACE ON SAT.
