Where in the World is the SassyFitRunner? BIG UPDATE...rhymes with Eggo


Sassy Fit Runner is Preggers!

Okay, though it is no excuse as to why I "dropped off" and haven't blogged recently, shortly after my last post we found out we would be expecting our 2nd child. Yes, Sassy Fit Runner is now Sassy Fit and Preggo! We will be all ribbons and bows come January with a precious baby girl, Willow.
To do a quick recap to bring you up to speed on the last few months:

While celebrating 3 months pregnant, my husband and I ran the Atlanta's annual Peachtree Road Race on July 4th morning! The weather couldn't have been better. Morning of, it was sunny with a few clouds and was a breezy 70 degrees. After finishing a little over 6 miles we enjoyed relaxing on the grass and then went home to nap before 4th of July festivities!

Morning sickness began to set in mid July, so I spent most of that time just doing the best I could to keep anything down and pray for some relief. Once it subsided I was back into full swing, with the approval and guidance of my doctor.

On September 13th I ran the Scrub Run 5k, put on by one of my favorite local event groups called Get Set Grow. I proudly received 3rd place in my age group! Couldn't be more blessed and we also found out that we were indeed having a baby girl!

And lastly, on October 4th, I honored my family members who have fought and beat breast cancer at Get Set Grow's Diva Dash 5k/10k. I again excitedly received 3rd place again in my age division at 6 months pregnant! I even had enough energy to spare and joined the Zumba post celebrations. This may be the last race for me before we meet Baby Willow. I was so thrilled to have placed. Again each time I paced myself and got approval from my doctor :)

Hope to keep my Sassy Fit Peeps more up to date. I will be posting soon what my favorite products I have been using to keep my happy, healthy, and sassy during my fit pregnancy! Remember to always check with your physician before starting a fitness routine or supplements especially while pregnant. And as a good suggestion is to always get a stamp of approval from your doctor to continue any training.

LOVE Y'ALL & Stay Sassy!

This past weekend I picked up my new baby...bike baby that is. A close friend of mine who got me into cycling last summer, found a gently used road bike for sale and it was a deal I couldn't pass up. Not only did it come with pedals AND cleats, they threw in an extra set of tires too. Did I get lucky or what? Since this is my first "big girl" bike, I had to take it out ASAP to get comfortable on it. Today was the perfect day! Sunny skies with a high of 67 degrees! (Don't worry on a day like this I made sure to get a small run in too ;) Today wasn't about getting a good time for the books, but it was about spending with my family. My son loved getting to ride along with me, and my mom joined in on the fun too. All in all it was an amazing and active day!

Owen's Birthday Trip 2 Universal Studios

Hey everyone!

Still recovering from this past weekend as we celebrated my amazing son's 6th birthday.  We decided to take him on a special trip to Orlando instead of throwing him a party. It was an awesome experience and lots of family fun at the Universal parks for three days.  We kept his friends involved by having them donate blankets and coats for a local charity instead of gifts. It was a huge success! My son loved the idea of helping others. This was a wonderful learning experience and taught him what it means to have a servant's heart. We treated the trip as a reward for his big heart for putting the children's needs first.

On our trip we got plenty of exercise. On average, we walked twelve miles a day!! I thought my son would have complained but he was much too excited to get to each ride so he didn't seem to mind. Did I mention that two of the three days it was cold and rainy? As we made the drive down the forecast changed drastically. We were all troopers and still had a blast. But Sunday was the best day of all. It was the only day I could pull out the shorts and my favorite long sleeve. Of course it was from Swirlgear because it was cute, lightweight, and I found out it dries fast after two water rides... YES water rides!!

Anyways, I hope everyone is enjoyed the weekend and did something fun and active:)

Enjoy Today and Happy Running! !
