I'm here, I'm here, I didn't skip town on you.....although, in all seriousness I don't think I could "skip" anywhere right now.....my thighs are on fire! This February Pledge to Run...Daily!!! has been hard on this old girl.
We had a few friends in for the Super Bowl last night (Go 49ers!!!!....I guess it's a little too late for that....boo!) so I didn't get a post together yesterday as there was a tonne of stuff to do around here in prep for our guests/party.
As many of you know, life with kids is a constant discovery show. My boys are crafty kids. Everyday there are markers, glue, glitter, stickers, paper bits, and clay everywhere. Our dining room is the most under-used room in our house, (we are pretty casual around here) so it has become a makeshift craft room. Until yesterday, when we were expecting guests and I had a boatload of food to serve. I needed to rescue my table, so I grabbed a handy laundry basket and filled it with the table contents. And much to my horror, under all of the pencils and paper, I discovered this....
Now, I love that my kids enjoy crafting as much as I do...but Hello!, THAT is a HUGE mess on my dining table! I know, I know, Mommy should have put down a protective cover of some sort, but Mommy is busy and really didn't think of it.....until she was in a mad dash prior to our house party.
What is that? crayon? marker? I have no idea! So I grabbed my Shaklee Get Clean Scour Off, thinking it needed a little grit to get things moving. And move it did!
With a damp micro-fibre cleaning cloth, a touch of Scour Off and some elbow grease, the "artistry" was removed from my dining room table. I didn't want to really scrub like I would my kitchen sink, as I was afraid of lifting the finish. So I gently wiped back and forth, going with the grain of the wood, Now it did take a little bit of time... around 10 minutes for the whole table. But using Shaklee's Get Clean line of natural cleaners makes me feel a lot more secure... especially around food surfaces.
So thankful, as we were too close to guests arrival for fussing. We covered the table with lots of munchies and a big pot of chilli...YUM! (Go 49ers!!!....still no?....boo!)
Fun was had by all and even though my team didn't win, we enjoyed our Super Bowl night.
I even squeezed in my workout mid-afternoon, as I knew that I had a pledge to uphold as well as a night of high-calorie indulgence ahead.
Here are the results from Day 2 of my February Pledge to Run....Daily!!!
Now you'll notice a jump from Day 1 Totals. I set a manual program of 20 mins to include a 5 minute cool-down. But while I was running and getting into my groove, the clock reached the cool down portion of my workout. However, I felt like I had more left in the tank...so I kept going. And let me tell you, I felt like I had just won a gold medal! Breaking through barriers and personal goals are the ultimate motivators!
Manual Program - 20 minutes (4mins walk 3.5, 2.5 incline)(16mins run 5.0)
