Training Day 1

     Today my mom, Abby, Brielle and I went for a run to train for the Color Me Rad 5k in June. (colormerad.com) I'm so excited! It's going to be a blast and great motivation to get back in shape and get outside. We're doing a workout were we run for one minute then walk for one minute. It's really doable and still makes my heart pound and makes me work hard, especially after a ninth month break! I stayed fit during my pregnancy but of course my cardio is nonexistent right now. Haha!
     We are going to be running three times a week and in between those days we're going to La Fitness and doing a "Body Works" class. It's basically weight lifting, squats, lunges, ab workouts etc. I love it! My mom and I also go to Zumba sometimes which is really fun. Of course not being able to bring Brielle with me is painful, but I know it's good for me to go. 
     March 18th, 2013: 5 minute walk, 1 minute run - 1 minute walk (6 times), 5 minute cool down. We went a total of 6 miles today, obviously we only ran for 20 minutes, but it felt so good to actually get out there and meet our goal!!

     Today Brielle is one month old! It's so crazy how the time flies. She's already looking me in the eye and whenever she hears Spencer's voice she becomes super alert and looks for him. Even in her sleep she'll start wiggling in her dreams if she hears her daddy. She is so much fun to watch and play with. I don't want to miss a moment she's already grown so fast. I can't believe how big she's gotten. She's already in her 3 month clothes.  WOW. Were did the tiny little 7lb baby go? She's stolen all our hearts and we are all so blessed to have her in our lives. I'm praying everyday that I'll raise her right and that she will fall in love with Jesus Christ. I'm so very excited to see what she'll become some day. 
      Well that's all for today. I'll try to post more consistently about Brielle and how training is going. :)

  1. Way to go Jasmine! Keep it up and you'll be running a mile and then 2 miles and 3, 4 and 5 miles before you know it!!!

    Maybe if this running thing sticks you could join us for the Shamrock run in 2014! 35,000+ people...people dressed up, ladies wearing tu-tu's...it's a blast!

    Glad you are getting out with your little angel :)
