Ketchup

Lower body and running

Back at it again today I did lower body (fitnessblenders), yin yoga (short and sweet by Travis Elliot) and my couch to 5k/10k. I am so glad it is warmer out and I now have fleece lined workout clothes to help keep my body warm while exercising. My girls decided they did not want to… Continue reading Lower body and running

Rainbows

We are celebrating!

This spunky girl of mine is 6 today! Reflecting on the day she arrived I had to schedule a C-section. So on this day six years ago I was brought to the hospital by a couple of hunters at 5:30am. The operation was scheduled for 7am ( the times probably are not accurate) and my… Continue reading We are celebrating!
