weekend happenings

This weekend was a different one then I've had in a while.  Karli from September Farm invited me to a weekend warrior challenge with some of other bloggers.  Let's just say I upped my step game to the next level, reaching 27K one day and -- the next day.  Definitely needed to step it up a notch.

It really caused me to work harder and be more active over the weekend, although I do have to say, I don't think I could do this many steps again without killing myself.  Sophie and I went on two walks each day to Dollar General, and by walks I mean I walked and Sophie got pushed in the stroller.  She certainly loved pushing the stroller when we got home.

I went for a 5 mile run both days, and then a 2 mile cool down walk to get up to that many steps.  My legs are just about to fall off too.  I'm kind of hoping she doesn't do a weekend warrior challenge next weekend.  My legs just might up and fall off.

I find my music is what helps me run the best, some of my favorite tunes are: Style, Sugar, Rolling in the Deep, Shake it Off, All about that Bass, Hall of Fame, Happy.  I'm big into loud poppy sounds.  If I'm listening to non-poppy sounds I'm not running well.

We also discovered Sophie likes to smack the wall with one of her hands while laughing hysterically for naptime.

All in all this weekend was incredibly fun and step intense, must have been because of my new shoes and shorts, eh?

and now Kyle and I will begin our week trading in glasses (for him) for contacts I am trading in contact for glasses.  Hope y'all have a great week!
