    I completed the Frostbite Footrace

    I did the "Tek it easy Mon" Recovery video!

    My training has been pretty intense lately and needed to thank my body for keeping up!!

    My four green veggies this week have been:
    1.) asparagus (asparagus, tomato, and onion frittata)
    2.) spinach and other left greens (chicken salad with strawberries)
    3.) zucchini (filler for chili)
    4.) sugar snap peas (one of my absolute favorite snacks)

    Happy Friday y'all!

    I've done several. They're lots of fun. They're just long enough to know you've really worked yourself and accomplished something awesome, but not long enough to really wreck anything in the process! (Full marathons are too much wear and tear on the body, so I don't do them anymore.)

    Have fun! B)

    ETA: If you do decide to do a full in the future, it is an amazing - and grueling - experience. You'll never forget it!

    CHALLENGE #2: “RANDONNEE ON REUNION!” (5 km outside)

    I selected this challenge because I have a serious case of Spring Fever and it is unseasonably warm for this time of year. I can't get enough of the outdoors right now. And, I loved all the videos from Reunion. I added that destination to my bucket list.

    I feel you. I'm going crazy right now with the outdoor activities. I'm pretty sure I'm going to achieve the maximum 700 weekly challenge minutes for the first time ever! It's a nice change from my winter hibernation mode! B)

    I sure hope there's another challenge planned soon! I'm going to miss doing this.

    Randonnee on Reunion from week 2

    I chose this one because I have been struggling to do much in my morning workouts. Also, it seems to help a lot if I can make myself take a break during work and get a little exercise in. It's pretty easy to just switch my shoes and head out for a quick walk. I walked a little over 2 miles yesterday and 2 miles today.

    Challenge # 3

    For my four green Fruits or vegetables, I ate spring mix and spinach salad, brussel sprouts (bought hot and prepared from the grocery store, tasted decent but I still swear I taste what I describe as a bit of a dirt taste), a green pear, some green beans with almond slivers, and half an avocado!

    “RANDONNEE ON REUNION!” (5 km outside)
    I walked the 5K outside. I chose this challenge because it is a beautiful sunny day outside and I didn't want to go the gym to get my exercise today!

    Yes, I believe we can! Although as @murdog3t said, we need to get our challenges done to have a chance. Come on Team 2! Let's battle it out till the very end!

    By the way, this pep talk is really for me because I'm not in a great mood at all right now and am supposed to work out today but not feeling it whatsoever. Husband out of the country on a business trip for 2 weeks, just as I'm about to start back working. As an exclusively breastfeeding mom, who doesn't want to do day care, it is going to be super TOUGH on me to balance EVERYTHING that needs to be done. It doesn't help that my daily commute to and from work ranges from 3 to 4 hours. Plus my work hours vary from 1 day to the next. Today I tried to write out a plan of the things I will have to do for each day, and my head felt like it was going to explode, so I stopped. I'm turning over my troubles to the Lord though, because I know only by relying on Him will I be able to make it without having anxiety and panic attacks.

    Sorry about the rant. Just needed to get all that out in the universe somehow.

    ...my daily commute to and from work ranges from 3 to 4 hours...

    That's horrible! If there's one thing I can't handle, it's long commutes. I would lose my mind. I feel for you. <3

    Its always good to get it out. Going back to work is difficult with a little one at home....
    Good luck with everything

    @jamaicanlady I can't imagine having to commute that far/long. And being a new mom on top of that. I agree with @jenilla1 -long commutes make me crazy. I couldn't handle it for 12 years when my commute was 12-18 minutes. I had always worked close enough to walk to work, and now I do again. I swear it's a big secret to happiness. Especially for people who are very goal oriented.
    When I was in Jamaica last year, I saw just how hard the people of Jamaica had to work for very little.

    Week 6, the Iditarod
    I chose this challenge because it alluded me during the original challenge. I planned my week accordingly and got it done. And the beautiful summer-like weather played in my favor! ☉

    Week 8 challenge #1

    From week 6 "The Last Great Race"

    I did the 5k frost bite footrace. (well I put in just over 11 km, not enough for the 10.49 mile ididarod which is about 17 km.) I did a combination of interval running and walking.

    I picked this challenge because I love to be outside.

    I did "DANSES DE REUNION!" (5 videos - 19 min.)
    I chose this because it was one of my favourites from the list and enjoying exercise makes me work harder!
