Weekend and Comfort Zone

Why do the weekends go so fast.  It is horrible how fast they go by.  I did get a lot done but it is never enough. 

My workout was good.  I went on a long run to calibrate my Nike+ again.  Since, I haven't done it since I got it 2 years ago.  I felt for accuracy reason it might be good idea. I know my running has changed just a little bit since then.  We ran 5.5 miles total.  Which felt great!  I am hoping our weekday runs this week won't feel so long now.  3.5 is a piece of cake after running 5.5.  Right!?   It was just a nice relaxing run.  I got to catch up on some current events with my running partner.  It has been a long time since we just took off and ran.  Normally we are on such a time crunch.  We have to hurry and get our run or swim in and get on with our day.  But, this was a nice good run. 

Do any of you run or walk with a meter of some sort?  I have downloaded a new app on my phone.  But, I am not sure about running with my phone.  My pockets are not very deep.  I'm afraid of dropping it.  I also don' know about running with it in an arm band.  The phone would probably be bigger then my bicep.  (Which is getting bigger due to all the push ups!)  

After that we met up again at the local dance studio here in town.  They were having a grand opening of their new studio.  Since they are now offering some fitness classes.  We thought we would check it out.  Nice new facility.  I look forward to trying some of their classes.  I'm not usually a class kind of girl.  But, we all have to try something new.  I am pretty comfortable with my running, swimming, and biking habit right now.  Maybe Ill try one and report back to you how it goes.  They were offering a free pedicure with a month membership at the open house.  Since I don't like people to touch my feet.  I declined.  I have a different goal in mind for April.  But, I did promise my friend that I will do some drop in classes with her. 

In the afternoon my family and I headed to Lafayette for the day.  We had some shopping we needed to do.  I told Jonnie that I would buy him an early birthday present.  He needed a new bike.  Poor guy looked so small on his old one.  Plus, I think it will make our long bike rides more enjoyable for all of us.  Now that he isn't swerving into us because his knees are poiningt out.  He went from a size 16 to a 20.  Huge difference.  He was funny.  He didn't want to try the bigger bike.  He kept telling us it was out of his comfort zone.   We explained to him that sometimes it is good to get out of your comfort zone and try something new.  I know I  need to take my own advice and get out of my comfort zone too.  I hear ya! : )

Here is Jonnie on his new bike. 

We also got some 4H projects to work on next week.  Bethany picked out her rocket and Jonnie got a model of a plane to build.  Wish us luck on building those!! : )  Maybe I'll finally post more pictures.  I'm really working on it. 


So that was pretty much my weekend.  Hope everyone has a great Monday!!

One week until vacation!  Hope I can make it!!
