booti buster challenge this week

Okay so this week has not exactly been how I pictured my first week of hte bootie buster challenge would be. However, it has been a great week and I have earned a few points so here is how it adds up this week.
sunday: Since this is my rest day every week I didn't get points for exercise but I did get points for the fruits and veggies. That may sound pretty easy to some but this is very hard for me. I have to really work hard to eat all my fruits and veggies.
Monday: Zero points for me. My poor baby was sick with 105 degree temp sunday night so we ended up spending three hours in a doctors office Monday morning to find out she had pneumonia. The rest of the day I was so tired it was all that I could do to just make it through the day.
Tuesday: I earned four and three quarters points. I couldn't finish the last quarter mile had to get home in time for my hubby to get to work. I went on a great run in the morning. We woke up to like less than an inch of snow here in Oregon. To most Oregonians this is pure pandamonium. Schools are cancelled people call in sick to work its crazy. For me coming from Idaho and Colorado this was funny. I actually like runnning in the snow. It was crunchy and peaceful all at the same time. It didn't make me miss the snow but I enjoyed for the half of the day that it was here.
Wednesday: yay,, company in my house and I will just admit pure laziness
Thursday: Great 6 and a half mile run. Wished I had an Ipod but it was a great run.
Friday: My running partner called up and we went out for about five miles. It was nice to have a partner. My legs felt tired and my hamstring was sore I think I need to start doing some more stretching to help my hammy and my points.
Well next week I will do better got get more points than this if I wanna have a chance.

Bootie Buster Challenge!!

Okay so I am terrible about keeping a journal but I have been running and my running partner is back in action so now I have someone to run with as well. Today I started my bootie buster challenge that this blog is doing. I may not win anything but I am sure gonna try and if anything we will all be winners when we don't feel like plump turkeys come Jan. 1st. I am kind of excitied to do this challenge it has given me new motivation to wake up early and exercise. Today I got to run with a group of women. I am pretty sure I was the oldest and that I was the only one who didn't compete in track in college but it was still a fabulous time. We ran 6 miles and they flew by for me. It was great listening to others talk and laugh about what is going on in their lives. I have never had a group to run with so I am excitied that these ladies want to meet Saturday mornings and run. Now I have to decide if I am going to sign up for the Newport Marathon. My crazy husband did last night so now it is up to me to get comitted. Can I do it?
