On the move

I've had a good workout week, although I missed one workout on the schedule. Here's my week in review:
  • Monday: Stretch & strength ~ At home while Little H napped in the a.m., I used weights, a resistance band and push-up bars to work my biceps and triceps. Then some stretching. It was nice to have a slower workout day after the Sunday run.
  • Tuesday: 3 miles on the gym treadmill.
  • Wednesday: Rest day. I was supposed to do 45 min of cross training, but I took a mom & baby class and couldn't make it to the gym. So instead, I moved this to tomorrow and didn't take the usual Rest day on Friday.
  • Thursday: 45 min of cross training (mix of elliptical, rowing machine, bike)
  • Friday: 2 mile run & strength ~ At home while Little H napped in the a.m., I used weights and a resistance band to work my shoulders and back. After he woke up, we were off to the gym for a 2 mile treadmill run followed by some ab exercises.
  • Saturday: I should be doing 60 min of cross training but we have other plans for the day.
  • Sunday: I should be doing a 5.5 mile run, but the race/event I'm running in that day is 5 miles. But since I ran 5.65 miles last Sunday, I'd say that makes up for it!
This was a good week, as far as fitting in all the workouts. I haven't had too much else going on so it was easier to make it to the gym. During busier weeks, it's not so easy and I sometimes miss 2 or 3 days. I just try to fit it in when I can.

Little H has also been getting a workout lately. He's on the move, or at least trying to be :) I've been seeing a lot of this adorable bottom...
He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth, then falls to the ground flailing his arms and legs, and gets right back up and does it again.... and then he repeats that over and over. It's adorable. Although he's not actually crawling, he's somehow making forward movement because when he sees a toy he wants on the other side of the rug (or a pacifier on the other side of the crib), he makes his way over and gets it. He's a very determined little boy.

Although I've been very excited for this next milestone, I'm also stressing out. Our place isn't quite ready for a mobile baby. I've put in the outlet covers, but other than that we have some baby-proofing to do. Right now, he pretty much stays on the living room rug, and I always have my eye on him. But I know that pretty soon the inevitable will happen... he'll be zipping across the floor. Oh boy. Our little guy is growing up so fast.
