Today I went for a run on my treadmill, Lilly and felt great! This is a stupid picture and worse pose, but I was just goofing off ;)
Brendan loves it when he gets to hang out with Dylan while mom works out. She looks adorable in his hat and he's a natural with her :)
WTF are these things anyway ? Art ? Sculptures that are HUGE and near the Bay Bridge on the Embarcadero that sorta look scary if you ask me. I tried to show my son these pictures and he covered his eyes and said to change the picture they look scary!! I agree Brandon....
This is Erik, Jen, me and Brendan in Crissy Field - across the street from SF CrossFit where Brendan trains them every Sunday....What a beautiful view and a perfect day in the city!!!
Today Brendan and I went to San Francisco to train his clients, Jen & Erik at XFit SF. What a beautiful warm day it was! I love the city...always something new to see and do.....Jen & Erik always take us to some new interesting restaurant after the workout. Today they took us to have Dim Sum and it was super tasty....vegetable & meat filled dumplings that they bring to you on a cart and you choose which ones you want. We liked it all. Next time I think they said we are going for Korean food. Yummy!!
My son Brandon climbed up these rocks and had Brendan follow him up....they were having fun playing around up there......
Today after I picked up Brandon from school we went for a walk on the beach by our house - it was low tide and we like to go down on the beach at low tide to see what creatures we can see. Brandon took this pic of me and B - not bad. We climbed up rocks, gather sea shells and just had fun hanging out with eachother.
This is my favorite baby - Dylan surrounded by all the Valentine cookie treats I baked the night before. Look at the little flower in her hair!!!
Brendan bought me this tube top/cardigan combo from the Bubble Lounge for my birthday. He has such great taste - and expensive!! I LOVE it....its a warm sweater set and I can see me wearing it a lot in the winter.
Time to update my entries!! Last weekend was my time with the kids and we had a great time! Friday night we went to see Norbit at the theatres and it was just ok - we went to dinner first and just had fun together. Saturday I went running in the rain and I smiled the entire way! My knee/back/hip/body felt fantastic - no pain! I ran for 8 miles at 7:22 minute mile pace and only stopped to tie a shoelace. When I got home and knocked on the door I was soked to the bone and shivering - but that smile remained. I felt like the old me when I was running - I miss that woman who used to run fast with no pain. Saturday i got to be her again and I was THANKFUL!!!
Today was a team workout and I was teamed up with Cill. It so happened that we both sported our pink CrossFit tanks today. No we didn't call each other :) Here's the workout...
This was taken at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Love the jellies!! Time to catch up with my workouts....
Kelly at CrossFit San Fran has a nice little set up there. The Golden Gate Bridge is right across the street at Crissy Field and he send his clients there to run and warm up. Sometimes they bring the equipment there and work out under the bridge. SO COOL!!! Check them out if you ever get a chance.
Sunday Brendan and I went to CrossFit San Francisco to train his clients and LOVED the box they have there! It's so raw and punk rock - no frills, just out in the back parking lot with a roll up storage unit housing the equipment. They had Bakar ladders, rowers, all the O-Lifting stuff you need and this incredible monkey bar! I had fun getting across it and trying to skip rungs without falling. Brendan incorperated it into the workout and had Jen & Erik bunny hop on the bars grabbing each rung until the end - then turn around and swing back. Nice warmup. B made it look so friggin easy but when others tried we failed miserably! Oh well - another thing to work on.
We look a lot alike - even when we are making goofy smiles :) Oh - and we both LOVE skulls....can you tell ?
Today I chaperoned on a field trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Brandon's 4th grade class. We had a great time together....I drove Brandon and one of his classmates, Kana, and met up with the rest of the class there. Brandon especially loves Penguines - always has. I think it started way back when he was 4 or 5 and we went on a family trip to Florida for Thanksgiving. His grandmother, Sweet Mamma, took the grandkids to Build a Bear and Brandon picked out a penguin to build/make for himself. He named the stuffed animal Penguin and he still has him and loves him. He's seen every movie that has to do with penguines, and loves watching them today at the aquarium.
This is Dylan and I having our play time Thursday at CrossFit. She always has these great bear outfits on that make her so warm and cuddely. I was teaching her "How big is Dylan.....?...sooooo big!" A fun game that I used to play with Sarah and Brandon and they loved it. Dylan was smiling so i guess she liked it too :) I have to say that this child brings so much joy into my life. I could hang out with her all day long and be totally happy about it. I miss having a little one to snuggle with - my kids have gotten so grown up overnight it seems. I don't think they would want to play this game with me anymore, even if i begged them :)
I'm back to training with Brendan and working on getting stronger. I have lost some strength it seems, and some weight as well. I've increased my fat blocks a little and added 1 more meal block - now I am a 11 blocker instead of the 10 blocks I was eating.
