Open water swim

What’s happening

What’s happening?

Well … it turns out I’m short. Or Hannah is just growing really fast.

Hannah’s on the right, I’m on the left.

Anyways… I just wanted to post about what’s going on in my life lately. I feel like I haven’t done that in forever!

  • Still teaching Spinning, still loving it. I’m currently teaching 3 classes a week at two different branches of local YMCA’s.
  • I’m training for a 5k open water swim (in August), a run-swim-run race (also in August), and a half marathon (in September). It feels good to have some “goals” to train towards.
  • My toe is doing great but I’ve actually been having some other health problems related to digestion. I’ll go into more detail when I know more, but my doctor currently has me on a gluten and lactose free diet. Sad times for this cereal lover.
  • I can’t believe classes start up again next month. I actually forgot what I scheduled..
  • I’ve been cooking and baking (when I feel like it, hehe) a bit and I have a great rosemary chicken recipe to share.

Pictures of what’s happening:

I’ve also been cleaning up after Lola. She got into the garbage on Sunday…

I like to creep on my brother and his fiance when they take pictures.

Teaching Spinning

So yeah, other than the above mentioned things, I’m just enjoying life and feeling really blessed. 🙂

What’s up

What’s up?! I feel like I haven’t had much time to blog lately–time for some updates?

I’ll even be organized and use categories:

Life Updates:

I’m working on a big project for my church. Since January I’ve taken pictures of each family in the church to update our pictorial directory. Here’s my family’s picture:Other life stuff: I can’t wait for the weather to warm up in Pittsburgh! We had a heat streak going for a while, but today’s high is 69*. Nevertheless, our pool is open and I’m loving it. I’m hoping to have friends over for a pool party/bonfire soon.

 Athletic Updates:

I don’t have too much going on athletic-wise. I’ve got a 5k this weekend and an open water swim in August. Honestly, I’ve been bopping around with running and swimming. Some weeks all I want to do is swim and other times all I want to do is run. I just go with the flow 🙂

I’ve been wanting to swim at a local lake with a buddy of mine for a while now. The water in the lake can be a bit chilly until July. So, I got a wet suit on sale for $40!

Totally Random Updates:

I tried ear candling this past weekend LOL. If anyone is interested, I’ll do a separate post about it.  

Okay, I think that’s enough for now. Work this week = teaching 1 Spin class tonight, 2 tomorrow, and 1 on Thursday.

Hope everyone has a good day!
