Today for my 44 I did a halo to curtsy lunge – this is another one of those moves that work most of the body!!!

I counted a right and left side as 1 rep – even though I only used 5 pound dumbbells, my upper body got some serious work to complete 44.

Stacy and I are fixing to do a cross-fit style workout – I think she is going kill me!!  That’s OK – we are headed out to run after!

My sister-in-law is training for her first marathon so I’m going to log her miles with her while they are here – OUTSIDE!!!  The current temp is 17 so I guess I will have to employ my Suck it Up  in a big way!!!  Her plan is 8 today, 4 tomorrow, 8 Friday and 16 Saturday (that will be her longest run!!).

We have lived here (Kansas) for over 14 years.  It is a long drive for any of my family to come up from Texas (especially since Topeka isn’t really a major tourist attraction!).  Over the years, we haven’t had a lot of family visitors but Sam (my younger brother) and Stacy come almost every year!!!!

They have been here on Easter (it happened to also be Hunter’s 6th birthday), summer vacation, 4th of July and numerous Thanksgivings!!!  

I truly am thankful for Sam, Stacy, Isabel and Hays who got to our house about 10:00 last night (after a very long day of driving for them!!).  They will be here until Sunday morning and I plan to enjoy every minute of their time with us!!!  

Stacy and I will run and workout then shop and enjoy our wine.  Hays can’t wait to play ball and cars with the “big boys!” Isabel is looking forward to our annual “girls night” – special drinks and a movie without any boys invited!  There will be plenty of food (already have gumbo going for lunch in my crockpot and an egg casserole ready to put in the oven for breakfast!).

So, for the next few days I plan to do my daily 44s and I will probably still do a post but the rest of the time will be off the computer enjoying time with my family!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!
