Bits from My Weekend

Ok, so I'm starting to do a post each week called Bits from My Weekend. Got the idea from a friend, Michelle Arnold (http://www.mysixinthecity.blogspot.com/) who has an awesome blog and check her blog out to do this as well! So, I'm a bit late doing the first one..but better late than never right? Next week, I'll be on time.

So, here are some pics from my weekend!

A delicious avocado, gorgonzola, cucumber, tomatoe and ginger lettuce wrap on such a gorgeous day!!Went for a 3 mile run.....wishing it was a bit warmer to jump in the pool.

We grilled out hotdogs to enjoy the sunny afternoon...don't tell anyone that I like Nathan's Hotdogs!
Kayaking the 1000 Islands in Cocoa Beach, Florida...our new found love!

Our spontaneous and awesome friend, Trina came with us!! She is always up for something last minute! Short post...but looking forward to the next one! Florida definitly has its perks.....

New Shoes....

So, I've never been a runner....I always said I wasn't made to be a runner. So instead I participated in VHS workout videos at home(when I was young), or once I finally made it on my own, I went to the YMCA and did Kickboxing, Pilates and Zumba 5 times a week. I found that I love those classes and it kept me fit! Well now after our temporary (going on 9 months...wow!) move to Florida, we live in touristville where there are no gyms....uh hum....how am I supposed to stay fit?? So, I have decided to become a runner.......the weather is nice so I have no excuse and I love enjoying the outside..so it's perfect. Well, I've changed...and I researched every tennis shoe out there to find the perfect running shoe for my feet! I quickly realized most running shoes that are perfect for your feet are NOT pretty, but I managed to find one pair that I liked! They have pink in them...love it! I ordered them online in hopes that the reviews I read were right. I got them, tried them on, jumped around, ran around the kitchen...and smiled. I'm very excited about this new journey I'm on! I worked myself up to running a 5K a couple weeks ago...and who knows what's next. I must say, there is something in me that is really proud of myself. Kind of a feeling that I showed myself that I could do what I thought I wasn't made to do. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the gym back any day....but this will do for now. Who knows what you can overcome when you put your heart to it!!!
