This last week has been crazy weather-wise too. It forced me to get a bit creative with the kiddos.
Yes, I am a Master Fort Builder!
I built them this amazing (if I do say so myself...) fort when our fore casted warm, sunny day turned against us. We improvised and had an impromptu movie day. Well they did, I spent the day studying for my Psych final. I would've much rather been snuggling and watching Tangled!
And on the topic of workouts... This week hasn't been pretty, not at all. I had my wonderful triple workout (yoga, weights, spinning) on Tuesday and then a nice, easy 2 mile run on Wednesday. After that my days and nights were consumed with homework. I should take this time to mention that I'm not the kind of person who can skip a week of workouts and be none worse the wear. If I'm not on the ball diet and exercise-wise, I can seriously gain 3 lbs a week, easily. My body hates me being inactive. I'm just hoping I can finish my last final and get my schedule 1re-organized and get back to my regular workouts.
And lastly... Yet another Virtual Race! I love these things :) It really keeps me motivated to run, and somehow makes the thought of an actual, real-life race less intimidating. Barefoot Neil Z (at because all of the cool kids are doing it) is hosting the 1st Annual I can't Afford the Actual Race Virtual Marathon. You can either run/walk the complete 26.2 miles over the 2 week time frame (April 17-May 1) or all at once.
Are you signed up for it? Are you running it over the 2 weeks or all at once?

ahhh! totally understand being busy with school and that interfering with your active lifestyle. It is causing major stress in my life but I gotta get through these next few projects and then hopefully start getting those endorphins flowing again :) I am not signed up for the virtual race but am totally intrigued by the idea. I need to try one out here soon! GOOD LUCK with all of your work!
Love your blog! I'm a new follower:) The photos are fantastic and remind me of my visits out west (from the Boston area). You are a busy gal but sounds like you have it together. I'm running the "virtual" race too. Ran 7.5 yesterday. Unfortunately, due to my recent hamstring injury, I move like a snail:) Just happy to jog...ooopss....run! SO, it will take me a week or more to finish. Did you see the Pipes challenge? Check it out.
Ahhh, I WISH I could sign up for the race.... :( Good luck to you, you'll do great!
I love those forts my kids used to make - but what a pain to put all that stuff away afterwards!
I'm new to following your blog and I love it!! That fort is insane and I'm jealous!! Can't wait to read more about your adventures!
I get being busy, that is what makes age groupers so impressive, pros get to train all day, we have to juggle and the fact that we can juggle life and still train and still race, puts us in a elite group
Thanks for the comments everyone :)
And BDD - I LOVE that! Thank you :)
