On a (slow) Roll...

 I'm a bit behind but I wanted to give you the weekend update...

Friday I had a nice healthy dinner with my neighbor. She makes "pulled chicken" in the crockpot. It is delicioso and well, I don't really cook! Me and the kids headed back early though because I knew Saturday I would need all my energy.

I headed to Mom's to drop off the kiddies early and hopped on the subway to Pedal NYC. I had made plans with Tiffanie (one of the Mamas) for a short run before bootcamp. I had anxiety from the night before since I hadn't run outside since September.

Well we headed out on the West Side Highway and these well rested legs went for 3.19 miles! It felt amazing to be running. But my sense of accomplishment was cut short. It was time to start bootcamp with Ray. I was extra excited though because one of my partners in crime was joining me for bootcamp and the only thing better than a killer workout is watching a friend suffer benefit next to you.  It was a 30/30 class and the first 30 was spin. Let me tell you now, a run and then a spin class is as close as I'll ever get to a triathlon. I can do alot of things after running, but spinning is definitely not my first or hundredth choice to follow running. After 30 minutes of lead legs, we headed outside and started running up 61st Street. We ran forward, sideways, and backwards. We stopped for squat, lunges and push ups. At the turn around point, we did steps, tri dips and v-crunches. Oh, and then we sprinted back to Pedal.

That's me and my girl Nurys having a fun Saturday afternoon.

Needless to say, solid workout! I spent the rest of the day hanging with my mom, my sister, my nephew and my kiddies. We even hit one of my favorite local spots for lunch. My sister thinks its just the smell of bar (nostalgic) that I love at Salty Dog. I think it's the yummy salad. So simple and yet perfect! And I opted for a veggie wrap and didn't have a single piece of friend goodness from Mom's appetizer sampler.  Go me!

No pics of the salad, but my boy and my nephew are too cute, aren't they? :)

Sunday my neighbor and I made a workout happen by taking turns watching the kids while the other went to the gym. By 3 p.m., we both had a great workout. Mental note: Let's do that again, Kel! Win-win!  But who's going to fold all this laundry?!

Oh yea, me... I'm the mom!  Lucky me! :)

Today I woke up sore but my head was begging for endorphins. I'm officially addicted! That said, I headed to the gym at work and challenged the BFS.  I swear I was in a good mood all day and that included busy work, a broken truck and going to Babies R Us with both kids (always stressful).

I am in such a good place that I just want to keep it up.  I do know that I need to sip the wine not chug it though.  I want to start running every morning and looking at races.  But I know I need to take it slow.  So I will train strong, consistent and smart!
