From the crazy hydration to the super gentle shave, there are a lot of reasons why the Schick Hydro Silk® razor stands out. MY SKIN WAS SO SMOOTH! Great Shave. You gotta try it!

Yeah...... So it's been awhile.

Hello all! I know, it's been a whole 3 or 4 months right!

10 weeks to a Half Marathon

WELL........

I felt like my normal running/workout routine was getting old, and I just wasn't getting where I wanted to go. So, I started a new running program yesterday! I found it in my monthly Women's Health magazine, HERE. I am not currently planning to run a half marathon at the end of 10 weeks, but I could if I wanted. :)

CT: Cross-Train
Do 30 minutes. Pick an activity that elevates your heart rate, such as biking, swimming, power walking, or using the elliptical.

TT: Time Trial
Warm up for one mile, running at a very easy pace. Then time yourself at a comfortably fast pace (not all-out) for two miles. Note your time and try to beat it at your next time trial.

R&R Run: Rest & Recovery Run
Run three to four miles at an easy pace. Every fourth week will be for recovery--a rejuvenating time to scale back intensity.

INT: Intervals, 3.5 Miles
Run one mile easy, then for the next two miles, alternate either one minute of harder effort with one minute of easy recovery jogging or two minutes of harder effort with one minute of jogging. Cool down with half a mile at an easy pace.

T: Tempo Runs, 3–4 Miles
Get ready to pick up the pace (you can talk, but no more than a few words at a time) for a portion of your workout. Do one mile at your normal pace, then add the tempo somewhere in the middle. Finish at your normal pace.

Here is a picture of my new training schedule, I did change my workout week from Monday-Saturday to Sunday-Friday so that I can have Saturdays off to spend with my family. 

Last night I did my first cross train, I choose a 30 minute Cardio Yoga online HERE. It was a lot of fun and really hard.  Definitely got my heart rate up!

Today, I ran/walked my first non-stop 3 miles since I ran the Warrior Dash in May. I did it in 38 minutes and 40 seconds. Hopefully Wednesday I can beat it! 

It's not too late to join me! I will leave you with some really cute pictures of me and my sweet girl.

Anniversary Vacation

So my hubby and I went on our Anniversary Vacation. . . aaannnndddd it was awesome!

We went to Caesars Head Park in South Carolina, An apple farm, Chimney Rock Park in South Carolina, Linville Caverns and Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina and the Scheille Museum and Planetarium in Gastonia, NC. 

Here are just a few of the pictures. :)

 

YAY! For Apple Pie!

My toddler and I made a delicious apple pie this morning! YAY! I wish I had my good camera but it's up in the craft building WAY up there, (see that building in the back? More to come on that later, we JUST finished it!)

and I dont really want to walk up there when I have this delicious apple pie staring me in the face. :) 

(After it was baked)

So my point and shoot will have to do..... Look at how delicious that is. UMM..... I really failed on taking "in the making" photos, so you will just have to be OK with a before baked and after baked picture. 

(before it was baked)

Sorry gals, better luck next time. 

I used this cute little star toy of my daughters to cut out the center since all my cookie cutters are too big for pies. I got the idea from one of my besties, Jaclyn at The Crunchy Poser here is her blog. 

I got the recipe HERE... and just bought walmart brand pie crusts.. I do have a toddler, making FOR REAL pie crust just takes too much time on a beautiful Saturday morning. Molly liked helping with the pie. Next time I will be making a blueberry pie, and will make sure I take more pictures. :)

I think someones ready for some pie.

Happy Saturday all!
