Mixed nuts - Mix Master P version

Can you believe it has been 7months!!

He can crawl with purpose, sit alone, get up on his knees, bang his head on the floor!, and just about has 6 teeth.  He is sure in a hurry!
The one thing he isn't in a hurry to do is eat solids :(  We keep trying and trying and trying with no luck,  He did voluntarily enjoy a mum-mum the other day.  Step in the right direction!  But the waking up twice a night STARVING, has got to stop.
We have a few new ideas to try... hopefully the parents can get a good nights sleep SOON!

Excited that Young House Love is a Red  Wings fan!! :)

Riding in the BOB like a big boy - next month running!!

Enjoy!

March Mileage

I own you (really just myself) a few weekly workout update.  I have been running and walking and keeping up with my ab and squat challenge.  Life has just been crazy.  I can't wait until the summer, when things will slow down a little!  

Meanwhile, enjoy my latest stained glass piece my aunt made for us!

I love the detail in the yellow glass piece.

Running - 19.48miles

Walking - 22.64miles

Yearly totals - 

44.93miles running

58.52miles walking

Book lists

I love book lists!  Lists of books you should have read.  Lists of book you should read.  Books I need to add to my own "need to read" list.

I saw this BBC book quiz that claims most people have only read 6 books on the list.  And members of Goodreads have read 23.

My score...

43!!

How many books have you read??

Enjoy!

Garmin GPS watches

I bought the Garmin Forerunner 110 in February 2011. 

It has been great, until recently.  It now has a hard time connecting to the satellites and just isn't acting like normal.  I have used it 778 times for a total of 2263miles in the past 3 years.

It might be time to get a new watch!  I use the garmin almost daily, so I need a reliable watch.

I am looking at the Forerunner 220.

Any recommendations??

thanks!

WWW - 2 weeks!

Mon, March 3^rd – Busy day at work – we moved to a new office building!  I wore my pedometer and took ~12000 steps!

Tues, March 4^th – 1.35miles in 10:51with Molly (was running late and G had to leave early, so the run was short!), ~8400 steps during the day, 200 abs, and 25 push-ups.

Wed, March 5^th – 2.0 mile run with Molly in the morning and then 200abs and 25 push-ups.  I am pretty sure my watch wasn’t working properly – the first mile was at 7:15 and the second was at 14:14.  Humm!

Might be time to start looking into a new Garmin…

Thurs, March 6^th – Wednesday was our big move day, so I was tired Thursday morning.  Lazy/rest day!

Fri, March 7^th – Just flat out lazy!

Sat, March 8^th – 4mile run with Molly and then a 2.41mile cool down walk with the family. 

Run – 10min warm-up (1mile @ 9:24, 0.07miles @ 8:54), 2min easy walk,

3x {5 min “fast”, 2min easy walk} (0.57miles @ 8:48, 0.57miles @8:50, 0.58 @ 8:40)

Thurs, March 13^th – Lazy and tired in the morning and it was really windy in the afternoon, so we didn’t walk.

Fri, March 14^th –  2.10 mile walk with P in the evening.

Sat, March 15^th – 40min run (~4miles).  My garmin didn’t charge (even though is was on the charger over night), so I just wore my timex and did a timed run.  It felt good and the fast parts felt fast!

10min warm-up, 2min easy walk, 3x {5 min “fast”, 2min easy walk}, and 7min easy cool-down run.

I also started 30 day Ab and Squat Challenge.  Today was Day 1 – 10 sit ups, 15 bicycle crunches, and 30 squats.

Sun, March 16^th – Day 2 – 10 sit ups, 3x5 V-Up crunches, and 30 squats.  It was a rainy, lazy, chore filled day!

Enjoy!
