Park Fun/Sickness/Nanny!

 I ran only twice last week, because I was so busy, but I did have one of my better runs on Thursday!

I only had time to run 2 miles, and I knew they had to be fast! I had a friend coming over later that morning and the rest of my day was packed! I headed out by myself while my awesome hubby watched Sophie! I do love running with my new BOB, but when I get the chance to go solos, I almost always take it! It showed me how fast I could really go! I'm doing the Jeff Galloway method right now and just changing up me intervals each time to find the right one for me. For this 2 mile run, I did a 1 minute run, 1 minute walk interval. I would run as fast as I could for that one running minute. I really like it! I've also tried 30 sec/30 sec, which I don't seem to like so much. I took Sophie to park last week and did a 3 mile run at a 3min run/2min walk and I liked that one too! It was much more tiring, however. I wouldn't have been able to keep it up as long. So I may stick with 1 min/1min for now.

I am LOVING the cooler weather here in Texas!

I think Fall is finally making it's way here! :)

This week is back in the upper 90's, but it looks like the 80's will be the high next week!

I see a lot more visits to the park with Sophie in our future!!! :)

Here we are at the park after our 3 mile run! Sophie was pooped! haha :)

And here is Sophie enjoying the swings!!

This past weekend I haven't been feeling very well.

I guess I have what they call an "end of summer cold". 

I don't like being sick. Especially when I still have to take care of my little one.

I do have to say, however, that she is such a good baby girl!

I spent most of Sunday laying on my living room floor sleeping on and off. I could barely hold my eyes open. Sophie took 2 naps with me and then she played while I was in and out the rest of the day. I was so impressed at how good she was! When I did finally wake up, nothing had been destroyed, and she was a happy baby! This was great considering she has recently discovered toilet paper...and counters...Nothing is safe anymore! haha! But she was so good while I wasn't feeling well. I am one proud momma. :)

This past Friday I started my new job as a nanny!

I will be taking care of a 3 month old and a 5 yr old (when she's not in school). They are 2 of the cutest little girls! And the best part is, I get to bring Sophie along with me! It's a win win situation! I know Sophie will definitely benefit from being around other children! And the 5 yr old gets to see how her little sister will be next year! :) I'm excited to do some fun Pinterest things with Sophie and the 5 yr old this Fall!

And don't forget about my upcoming 5K Foam Fest~Dallas Giveaway!!!
I will be posting it on October 1st! :)
