...end week one of 30 day challenge...

I have finished my first week of my 30 day challenge (not a full week because March began on Tuesday), and I feel great, still a little tight (that kettle bells is tough!) but great.

Day 3: 5 mile Chastain Loop and Kettle bells with Sean and Trey.

The walk around Chastain is so beautiful right now as the first blooms of spring happen here in Atlanta while school is still being canceled for my folks in the north!








Aphi's favorite part of the loop...

The Kettlebells was less of a workout today because Jack worked with us a lot on technique which for Sean and I was super important. We learned the Turkish Get-up, silver-back dead lift, swings and the goblet squat...




Trey should stop looking so excited (he skipped chest day at the gym for this, a real sacrifice... thanks Trey!)


Day 4:
Yoga and a one mile fast run (well fast for me...)

Day 5:
Kettle bell workshop with Sean, John and Jack: Another day of basics, Jack is super knowledgeable about body mechanics and kettle bells and I think we are all on the same page now and ready to move and shake. We did get a workout in at the end and those little weighted balls are unrelenting!!

Day 6:
5 mile loop and Yoga at Peachtree Yoga with Daniela who is also a pranic healer so as you can imagine we did lots of breathing... it was a nice class, my first with her, I would definitely go back!

So Here we go into my first full week of the challenge... I will check back in on Sunday!

Have a great week everyone!

New Kicks!

Hey-O!
Thank you so much to Kate from Big Peach Running Co.! I was outfitted with these (expensive) beauties with the assurance that I can, "Take 'em for a couple runs and bring them back if they aren't right." That makes the $130 price tag seem much more worth it. They are the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6.

So while I have other things to update I am going to take this sunny Atlanta opportunity to take these pups out for a stroll around chastain park. After all I will have lots of time during the Steelers/ Falcons game to update more!

Happy Trotting to you all!
