But Baby Its Cold Outside

Now that summer is over and I can pack away my bikinis for the summer, my abs have finally started to take form. Awesome. There's a reason nobody ever trains for sweater season. 'Tis the season for over indulgence and Christmas Cookies, because we can hide it all under a giant wool sweater. If we get a warm day in December, I might just have strut around in my bikini top.

The Happiest Person in the World!

Saturday night, Jon and I were attending Diner en Blanc. I was hardly prepared, so I spent Saturday shopping for White Linens, wine glasses, and food. Then I spent time preparing all of said food. When all was said and done, I had about 1.5 hours before I had to start getting ready. I went to the park to get some trail running in. No, it wasn't a few hours lost in the wood, but it was important trail time. I got started, and sure enough pain in my left foot. Not too long ago I was having pain in my right foot. Its seems it simply jumped over to my left. Woo hoo. Absolutely aggravated and not wanting to chance a serious injury, I headed home. I was only struggling with running. Walking felt fine. Basically, putting pounding pressure on it hurt. Once home, I went to the backyard.

Yelling at Jon 'cause I thought my booty was hanging out.

     Jon: "Stand up straight."
     Me: "I can't. I'm sulking."

After telling him my aggravations, I got back to work. I still had time and I needed to get a good work out/sweat in. So I started flipping my tire. Jon went in and grabbed the camera, so I finally have pictures of me being a BA Tire Flipper!!!  I did push ups off my tire and jumped in and out of it. I also did some walking lunges with a log Jon had saved for me when he cut down a tree in the back. Plus some ab work.
