Mamavation Monday: Rocking the Skirt

Not too too much to report except I did 4 miles for the Social Fabric Virtual Race along with a few other small runs last week. It was nice to know that they will be donating $1 for each mile I ran. I would have loved to have ran more, but with new shoes you just can’t push too much. The shoes felt great, but at the same time I really felt different muscles being worked, so best to wear them in slowly as they are more minimalist than I am used to.

Did I mention I also got to meet some new and old friends at the FITNESS Tweet & Meet, including one of our very own Mamavation Moms (@weightsover) and @Momma_Oz? Their were some interesting discussions and the swag was unbelievable. I am still working on a recap post and should be able to link to it next week. Little Miss 6 months was there with me and it made me very proud that their were a few mamas who were envious that she was with me while they left their littlies at home 🙂 I missed out on the workout at the end of the day, but I’m so happy I didn’t miss the whole day because I was unsure if baby would have been welcomed. It was a great crowd and I cant thank our fearless leader enough for putting me on to this one.

The weather continues to play havoc with me getting out and about for runs – its either raining cats and dogs or sweltering hot. Though I love sunshine, I don’t do to well in hot hot heat. I’m prone to heat exhaustion, having collapsed once when I was a camp director – not a good look. If I can get out early in the morning, I’m sweet. Let’s just say there is no way I would have been running in the recent record breaking hot temps of the Boston Marathon.

We just got a kid’s yoga DVD and Mr 4 loves it! So this has been a great addition to the days where he is at home with me. As always, I’m just focusing on something small each week (food wise). I’m still doing green smoothies about 3-4 times a week and feeling the benefits of that, including less sugar cravings and the fullness from the fiber.

Next Monday when I update my inlaws will be here from New Zealand. I am really looking forward to seeing them as well as seeing how my exercise and eating is with them around.

  1. I LOVE the picture of you at the Fitness Meet and Tweet! I was invited by Fitness Mag but was rather unsuccessful when I attempted to negotiate flight etc with them 🙁 I would have really liked to have gone and meet you, Shelley and Wendy. You’re very smart to play it cautious with the new shoes – I have lost count of how many times I’ve injured myself by jumping right into a new pair… Good luck with your training!

  2. That is so awesome that you went ahead and took you daughter with you. Yes, first inclination for me would have been to leave my child at home, but you took the step and took her with you. Congrats on your 5K, that is so great! I hope you have a great week!

  4. The Fitness Tweet and Meet sounded like so much fun! I am glad you were not only able to meet Shelley and Wendy but you got to bring the cutie with you.

  5. It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the
    future and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this post

    suggestions. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article.

    I wish to read more things about it!
