I finally did it!

It was finally warm enough (in the morning) to go running with Lars. I'm definitely a California runner. I would freeze if I had to run in the snow or somewhere super cold!! My legs were so happy to get some exercise and sun!

It was a lot easier than I was expecting, since I haven't run in too long. Lars is always happy when we run 1.5 miles and end up at the park (it's much closer, I just go the extremely long way). So, I end up making it a round trip of about 3 miles. 

Don't let Lars' face fool you, he's actually really happy about being at the park.

He loves just running around and finding sticks and rocks to play with.

It hasn't been warm enough since, but it's suppose to be in the 70's by the end of the week.  Can't wait!! Hey, who knows, I may be able to get in a few runs this week/weekend!!

How many times a week do you run? How far do you run when you do?

#SPARTANUP & a Giveaway!!!

What am I doing on October 25th, you may ask??? Well, I will be completing in the #1 obstacle race (voted by Outside Magazine) and the global leader in obstacle racing since 2005. Also known as the Spartan Race (use this link for a 15% discount).

They have races all over the place! Check out this map and see how many they put on all over the place. 

They have something called a Spartan Trifecta. That's someone who has completed a sprint (3+ miles, 15+ obstacles), a super (8+ miles, 20+ obstacles) and a beast (12+ miles, 25+ obstacles) in a 1 race year. That would be something to be proud of!

I have 5 months of training ahead of me. This is one way to loose the last bit of baby weight and get toned! There's a lot to do. But, luckily, I have subscribed to their daily workouts (emailed directly to me). 

Need some inspiration for your workouts (I'll show you my workouts tomorrow), here go:

And, of course, here's a picture of Lars. He's such a wiggle worm right now, I can only get blurry smiley photos. 

The Giveaway:

Leave a comment for each. I will randomly choose the winner and announce next Thursday.
