In This Crazy Life...

This morning I decided to go hike Pinnacle Mountain. We have had some very cool temperatures the last few days, so it wasn't scorching hot. The sign about half way up. I will be honest i didn't make it to the summit. I went to the number nine and took a few pictures. It's very rocky and steep around the eight and nine marks. My nerve damaged leg and foot was starting to go numb and i wanted to be able to run down the mountain. The view from where I stopped. This is Lake Maumelle. The Arkansas River is on the other side that I couldn't see. The Arkansas River Valley After I ran down the mountain, I decided to run the King Fisher Trail. This part of the Little Maumelle River.  I love these huge bald cypress trees. These are called Cypress Knees. I think they look funny. Afterwards. I enjoyed being out there and need to make it a habit. If I climb the mountain a few times, my foot will get better and I can make it to the top.

Eight months later and the workout room is finally finished! Well mostly we still need to mount the TV and a corner shelf under it to place DVDs on. We started by taking everything out and putting down a plyometrics foam floor we bought at Academy Sports. Must protect the knees when jumping around. Laying the floor. Once the floor was in, we put up my ballet barre. I would eventually love to mirror this whole wall. But for now this huge mirror, given to us by my aunt, will have to do. I do want to paint it before we hang it. That's why its still just propped up against the wall. I'm not a fan of the gold.  The dread mill  treadmill and weights against the opposite wall from barre. Corner where the TV is going to be mounted along with shelves, so eventually the table will be gone.  So really the workout room is not technically "finished", but its functional for now. One thing I have learned with building a new house, there is always somethi...

I've been wanting a weight stand and Kev got me one for my birthday. Don't they look pretty? Now we/I just need to get back into the groove. I ran regularly for about two weeks with no P90X. Last week I did NOTHING! Kev has been working til dark lately. In the winter that's only til 6:00 but this time of year it doesn't get dark til 8:00. Ugh!! Hopefully we will be able to get back into the swing of things and I can use my new grip pads. They are hanging out on top of my weights.
