Pittsburgh Pirates

Little bit tired

I’m currently a little bit tired but this weekend was totally worth the tiredness!

Friday night I was in bed by 10pm and Saturday I woke up at 5:30 to do my long run with Jimmy’s uncle. I got home around 10am and spent the day doing some planting (basil and green beans) and walked Lola with Jimmy. Then my family and I headed to downtown Pittsburgh for the Pirates game. We had a blast and the Pirates beat the Houston Astros. The weather was perfect and Pittsburgh was bumpin‘!! So many people just having a good time. 

We enjoyed some delicious food during the game as well:Pepperoni pizza

Chicken bruschetta wrap

[Hannah and I ended up making it on the jumbo-tron too :p]

My family left near the end of the 9th inning to beat traffic and made it home around 11pm. I was pooped! I hopped in bed and their was a spider in my bed so I slept in my sister’s bed. Cray cray.

I got up at 5:30 am to make a Mother’s Day card for my momma before I headed off to church. 

I even found time to paint my nails. Who am I lately?!

Today I’ve been plopped on the couch making a new Spinning class workout for this week. I’m headed back to church in about an hour.

This weekend has been full and so fun. I’m happy 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day.. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Masters swimming

The Pirates game on Sunday was awesome (they won!) and hot. I put sunblock on only to sweat it off about 2 minutes later! Pictures from the game:

$6 for a bag of cotton candy *sigh*

We look tan?!

Leopard bra + baggy tank top = bad idea haha

Since it was SO hot outside Hannah, Molly, and I went in the shade and stumbled upon a prize wheel. You had to be 18 or over to spin it so we got in line because I’m over 18! (by more than a year) and when we got to the front of the line the woman who was going to let me spin totally didn’t believe I was 18. She was like “Are any of you 18?” I was like “Yeaaaaaah i’m 19” UGH! Needless today, I spun the wheel and won a Pirates coffee sleeve that my brother put on his coffee this morning before work.

Today I did something different and new!!

I swam with a masters team this morning from 6:00-7:00AM

Only 3 other people swam and I loved having my own lane! I didn’t realize how much I missed swimming with a team and having an actual practice. When I swim on my own at my gym I don’t push myself… at all. It was strange to be “pushed”!

I really enjoyed swimming with older people because it was totally different from a club/high school/college team where stress is involved in each practice: getting there every day, being on time, swimming hard every practice, getting good times in meets.

I like to swim, and I love to swim on my own terms.

Do you like to exercise with a team or on your own terms?
