Where do I start?

The trip to Hawaii was a complete blast except for the part of my hubby being sick with a sinus infection. A full week with no kids. Just a week without kids would be awesome but going to Hawaii made it even better.

Just about every morning, I would wake up and walk about three blocks to Kailua beach to watch the sunrise and stretch my legs. I literally would roll out of my bed still in my pj's and put on my running shoes. The first couple of days my feet were really hurting me. So, I decided to stick to my running shoes for extra support. I was messing around one morning waiting for the sun to come up on the beach. I was trying to take a picture of my shoes but I miss judge the tide. Next thing, I knew my feet were covered in water and sand. Talk about a mess. The shoes still have sand in them.

After a couple of days, my feet started to feel a lot better. We managed to hikes in one day. I felt AWESOME! It's the most amazing thing. The hikes were breathing taking. The pictures do it no justice. Just check out my other blogs, if you want the full story and pictures, click here!

The hardest part of the trip was no running. I swear everyone runs in Hawaii. Every morning in Kailua I was shocked at the number of people I saw running on the beach on the streets. I so wanted to join them but I was good. We are hoping on going back next year. Hopefully, I wouldn't be injured and I will be able to sneak in a couple of morning runs.
Even though my hubby wasn't feelin good. He was good sport. He thought I was trying to kill him. We managed to go kayating, snorkeling, and hiked three trails. After losing all the weight. My hubby gave me the most awesome reward! It was like being on a second honeymoon. It was so nice, to be able to do whatever I wanted without having to worry about three kids. Highly recommend it doing this more often.

So, I'm done with my goals, I have lost the weight, and I'm stuck. The weather since coming back home has totally sucked. It's been cold and rainy. This morning, the sun finally came out. I decided to hit the trail with leah. Wow, it was so hard. Pushing a jogging stoller is so tough. Oh, I only managed two times around the lake. I'm not sure if I still want to keep up the whole running thing over the winter.

I'm still planning on running the Little Rock marathon in the spring. I really need to stay off my foot to let it heal properly. So, I'm hitting my Chalean Extreme videos hard this week. I decided to look into Shaun T.'s Hip Hop Abs videos. I have a hard time seeing myself working to hip hop music and trying to dance to it. We will see...the only real complaint about myself is my tummy. Three kids did a really good number on that area of my body. I'm happy with everything else but my tummy. So, I just put a bid on ebay for a used set. It should make things interesting.
