No Lions, One Tiger and No bears

Last Saturday we took the girls to the zoo as we do every year. And every year Mike says next year we really need to go to San Diego Zoo. The girls don't know any different so they have a blast except that their Polar Bears and Black Bears aren't there this year and that was the girls favorites but oh well we still had fun. We took a train ride, had dippin dots, and had a carnival ride. All in all a good day.

My first 5k

well I did it. It may have been slow and up hill the first mile but I ran my first 5k in May. I know most people have been there done that, it's only 3.2 miles but I hadn't and so I was happy with myself. I have never ran in my life until I lived in North Dakota right before I got pregnant with Brooke then started having kids and after Sydney was born started again and was doing good averaging 4.5 a day 3 times a week and then got pregnant with kira and so lost all that so about 3 months ago really started to try again and it was hard this time getting back into running one because I can really only exercise when Mike is home and he is never home (ok he is home on the weekends) and I gained way more weight with Kira than expected so my big butt just didn't want to run but in May I signed up for a mini boot camp which was twice a week lost 10 inches in my body(way more to go so don't clap too hard) that month and was driven to do my first 5k. Now i am going to train for a 10 k at the end of summer. If I can do it anyone can. btw- the picture was taken at 6:50 in the morning so don't judge :)
