Week 16 and 17 Fitness Inspiration

Every year I participate in the Susan G. Komen 'Race for The Cure'. Last year when Kasie and I did it we said that we were going to run the 5k this year; however during this years 'Race for The Cure' I was 16 weeks pregnant so we decided walking was best. While waiting for the race to start they had Josh from 'Holly's World' sing the national anthem and he was amazing


Total goose bump status from hearing him sing. Then, Holly Maddison shot the gun to start the race and we were off! The race was extra fun this year because Kasie and I got to catch up and chit-chat while supporting a great cause. We finished in an hour and took pictures on Fremont:



We have already decided that next year we will be running the 5k, but I'll be running with a running stroller and my baby girl - teaching her how to be active at 7 months old, just like her mommy. We also plan on rockin' pink tutus so I can't wait to do it again next year!

While on the kick of being active, I was inspired by this post and have decided that after I pop this baby girl out that I am going to start training for my first Iron Girl Triathlon. When JLo had her two twins she trained for a triathlon right after she gave birth. I know I'm not Jenny From The Block, but if she can do it after twins I'm sure as heck going to try my hardest! I even found this organization in Nevada called 'The Diamond Kid' where they have junior triathlons for kids (as little as 2 years old!) that can be done with their parents. This also had me inspired of all the fun things we can do when our little girl gets here. This week I did a lot of spinning classes to stay fit while being pregnant and they have me feeling happy and very energetic. Here are some bump pics after I got home from the gym the day I hit 17 weeks:



After all this spinning, I'm pretty sure the little one is going to come runnin' out and give Lance Armstrong a run for his money. I just can not wait to meet her and will do anything to keep my mind off the anticipation. Almost half way there! :)
