First Trail Run with Lil Man

-
I'm not a fan of the jogging stroller; mainly because it puts pressure on my healing stress fractures. But since scheduling runs is becoming more difficult lately, the jogging stroller is my best options sometimes.

Today, I decided to try running the Rail Trail for the first time. I didn't really know what to expect, but I had been told it was jogger friendly. It was a rough ride for Lil Man, but he seemed to enjoy the bouncing. I didn't expect it to be so pretty out there. The sound of running water, and Lil Man's squeals made for an enjoyable time.

As long as I stick with easy trails, I can see me adding trail running to my routine in the future.

Does that mean that I need trail shoes now?

Why I'm Weighing In

It's no secret that nutrition has been my struggle for several years now. As I type this I'm in the trenches of giving up sugar for 14 days (I'm Giving Up Sugar For 14 Days). I'm also doing a weight loss challenge with less than a week to go.

The reason I am weighing in is because I'm experimenting to see if I have maybe found what works for me in regards to losing weight and then hopefully maintaining.

I seriously used to laugh at those who used essential oils. It reminded me of people who used to sell snake oil. Every time that I got sick or had an ailment, friends would ask if I had tried this or that oil, I would politely smile and say that I hadn't. I've always been skeptical - the roll your eyes kind of skeptical.

A few months ago, a teacher friend was having a doTERRA party with the option of purchasing $5 roller ball bottles. I didn't make it to the party, but I did buy a few roller ball bottles. For $5 I thought I'd give it a try, then I could tell those that yes I've tried it and move on so to speak.

I even laughed as I told my mom that I was giving them a try. I told her that I didn't think it would work, but it was worth trying. (I'd been dealing with a sinus infection for weeks that just wouldn't go away.)

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day (that I thought I had planned) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
