This past week I have not been exercising as much as I would have liked. It was pretty "off running week" since I hurt my ankle and I really wanted to recover from it. It was pretty brutal. However, I am surprised at how easy it was not to run, I would go swimming in the morning (which I am super slow at) and I rather enjoyed it. I didn't feel as if I was working really hard because I wasn't sweating, but it was a nice change of atmosphere  I kept active my walking and stretching a lot. My sisters would also go on bike rides everyday before dinner. I also tried to go running on Saturday morning, but it was a HARD run. I was going pretty slow but I felt as if my body was heavy and I was literally dying each step. I realized that I was not going to be running very far so I turned around and went home. I iced for a while and I think my body was telling me that it didn't want to run. As apposed to today, I loved every minute of it (maybe I secretly wanted to go swimming instead). 

They had slushies at my Cousin's Bday!

I went to my little cousins birthday party. She was turning 1!! But the party didn't start til late so I took my little sisters to the wadding pool. I was more excited because it was hot and I thought I was going to get wet as long as I held the baby's hand (who in reality is 4 years old). But there is NOT ADULTS ALLOWED!!! We are allowed to sit on the edge but we can't submerge ourselves in the water. Is anyone else confused or mad? I think the lifeguard had PMS issues. 

Oh, and the fact that I made these in the morning made my day awesome!

Besides that, we went to the mall over the weekend, I bought 2 new pairs of pants! I know, I'm shocked as well....if I am not in workout clothes, I'm in dresses.....so pants? Crazy baby!

Why are kids running shoes cheaper? Not fair!
