Beach Trip

I went to the beach for 4 days and did amazingly well!! My Sister went along with me and my two kids and we stayed at my Uncle Frank's house, he lives right off the water...seriously...

this is the view from his back porch. I took my running shoes with me and only one work out outfit because I figured it would be just like at my folks place and I wouldn't do anything. I'm so happy that I was wrong - even if my outfit smelled awful on my second run!!
On Friday morning I ran 3.5 miles 45 minutes. It was great to be running without the kids. Just me and the fresh ocean air. I liked it so much that Saturday night I went out and did it again, only this time I ran 5.3 miles in 58 minutes.
I'm not going to lie though I had an ulterior motive...I needed those miles to finish my summer challenge of running from Ft Meade to Assateague Island. I made it too - with an extra mile just because. I'm so proud of myself for not only running while on vacation but for finishing the challenge. I also ate pretty well while there (minus the donuts we got on the last day, and the pizza I ordered when we got home since I had an empty fridge, oh and the Sonic I ate on the way there, otherwise I ate very well!). Proof I ate well - I lost one pound last week - YEAH!!!
