Last weekend, the highlight of my running adventures......included hitting the trail with Aaron and Cece (in the jogger) and getting him to run 5 miles. We did an out-and-back from Folsom Bridge to Willow Creek and before we got to our 2.5 point I was begging him to just try and run 10 miles. I did have to stop for a pee break every mile or so...(which he is getting used to my poppin' a squat). At first, seeing his wife search for a bush to piddle next to was rather awkward and he would say...."let me find you a better place" and proceed to search for another 5 minutes to find the perfect, hidden area. After a few times, he finally realized that I was a professional bush squater and left me to do my business. We would hit the trail 30 seconds later and he was impressed!!
I am doing more upper body strength training, too. In an attempt to keep my core muscles strong (without doing crunches at this point), I am having quite an experience. I've included more planks and side planks with the body ball and I can totally feel it. Just experimenting and finding position to engage those core muscles is fun and hilarious all in one!! I figured out that doing a push-up with my lower legs resting on the ball totally works both my shoulders, triceps, chest and abs (while pregnant anyway).
Anyway...I may be the only one who enjoys reading and writing and talking about fitness crap...so, I will change the subject. Oh...but one more thing...I'm gonna try to make Aaron run 7.5 miles this weekend. MMHHH...I don't feel guilty cuz he wasn't even sore after his last run, so...I'm bumping him up!! LOL!!!! (do you hear the evil in my voice)?!!!!!
Cece is loving preschool and getting ready to finish this year in 1 week!!! We will have a free summer of fun and leisure!!! She is a smart little thing and has begun sounding out words. I have a series of "you can read" books that start with simple words and sight words. She amazed me when I first opened the book and said..."when you see a C- it makes a sound like Cat. " and so on. She picked it up so quickly! She pretty much reads the first book in the series...and I include guessing in my definition. It's all part of the literacy process. She uses the pictures as cues and recognizes those sight words like "and".
I just incorporate it into our night-time reading routine and have really only tried to "read" 5 times total!!!
She will be 4 on July 31and her skills amaze me!!!
On the prego tip, I had my 15 week doctor appointment yesterday and all was well. I got to meet my doctor for the first time and he is quite a hottie!! I've been seeing his nurse practioner so I had know idea that he wasn't an old, ugly, creepy old man!!! It was a nice surprise that he was handsome and kind and had a really re-assuring bedside manner. He came in the room and introduced himself and said.."how's it going?"...with this 'kickin' it' demeanor!! My blood pressure was great, no weight gained=happy me...and the BEST NEWS of ALL...the baby's heartbeat was super strong and good!! The doctor found it right away with the doppler.
My next appointment will be next month and it will be the "tell all"!!! I'm anxious and that's about it!!! I will even have more anxiety to discuss as the appointment gets nearer. Boy...let me tell you...I'm a white coat nervous nelly and have to do meditation just to get my heartrate to normal and blood pressure before I go into the room!!!
We are excited to be heading to Santa Cruz next week for a time of togetherness, relaxation and some good fun!!! My sis-in-laws and families and cousins Brad and Karrissa will be there too with their kiddos!! I'm so in love with the beach and just laying on it soaking up the sun and lovin' me some girl talk......Aaron will be there too, but I'm sure he will be happy with just a kiss and a spank on the butt and sending him on his way!! LOL!!! woo hoo!!!!
