Body Armour Workout

I like challenges as much as the next person. Tribesports comes up with some great ones, including the Body Armour workout that they recently added!

This workout tests endurance and strength. Man, holding a push-up position for 2.5 minutes = intense!!!

Parkour is intense in general. To see more about this workout, with videos of each item, head to the challenge page! While you’re there, check out some of the other great challenges on Tribesports! There are also links to 3 other parkour challenges. I think it will take me a while to work up to some of these workouts! I am weak! haha.

What do you think about parkour? Have you ever done strength/endurance workouts like this?

DC Color Run 2013

Hey everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I know that I sure did Smile . I passed my lifeguarding recertification class, visited with Trav’s bro, and headed to DC for the Color Run!

Although it wasn’t officially timed, we jogged our way through the 3.1 miles in approximately 33 minutes. Not too shabby for a fun run! Smile My sister, Christine, and I ran with her friend Beth. And we were also with her friend Brandon and his cousin, AJ.

Before:

After the run, but before the after party color throwing:

Runicorns (running and dancing unicorns):

Party time:

And we followed it up with all you can eat buffet and mimosas/bloody Marys. I had mimosas with cranberry juice (aka a poinsettia for our family). Yes, we went looking like rainbows.

It was a super fun time, and it didn’t rain like it was supposed to. Even better.

So much for my weight loss. Fell off the wagon after having done so well the past few weeks. Back to it today.

How was your weekend??

Weekly Eats!

Thank you all so much for the awesome comments on my race recap yesterday! So happy to have another race under my belt, and I’m itchy to run again! Legs need to lose some soreness and I hope to hit the road or trail soon!

As per usual, I typically wait until Wednesday to fill you in on my eats! Today is no exception! Let’s start with last week. We made a trip to Sam’s last weekend and found the most amazing chicken ever. Spinach and artichoke STUFFED CHICKEN. Oh my goodness – talk about amazing!

Paired with some carrots and a salad … simply perfect.

Follow it up with another Sam’s find: FROYO! Perfect size and mighty tasty Smile

On the way to Pittsburgh, I fueled up for the long drive with some Wawa coffee!

Horrible picture alert! After the race, not only did I down so many tortilla chips, but I had a chicken mole burrito at Mad Mex. LOVE THEIR FOOD SO MUCH!

On the way back from Pittsburgh, we stopped at Wendy’s. ALL I wanted was a plain baked potato with ketchup, but they didn’t have any baked potatoes Sad smile . I got their new grilled chicken flatbread, without the ranch dressing and with ketchup. It had a piece of asiago, a piece of bacon, chicken, and lettuce. Pretty delicious for fast food!

Last night we had Taco Tuesday! Turkey tacos with rice, olives, peppers, corn, lettuce, and cheese! Sooo yummy Smile

As per usual, I had a salad for lunch pretty much every day, and I had either eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. I think you can make out what that looks like!

That’s all for this week’s What I Ate Wednesday. More pictures will come your way next week!

What’s the best thing you’ve had to eat lately?
