#Mamavation - Avoid Bursting Into Flames!

The #RunHades virtual half marathon challenge is over for me. There are seven more days to complete the challenge. My 28 Day Health Challenge is still going strong. Recently I started the #100DayBurpeeChallenge. You can get the details by click in the right side bar or if you're a member of BookieBoo.com you will find others who are in on it in the discussions portion. What a week! I'm going to miss the virtual half marathon. It really  helped me get back into running. I've got a new morning routine out of it too. I'm not trying to over due it or anything but there is a lot more pep in my step in the mornings without caffeine! Who knew? Most likely those of you that run in the morning. The video I selected this week is a proper "Snatch." I'm not sure how that conversation got started on Mamavation TV about my snatches. I wasn't there that night. lol - Oh wait - check this out. My Crossfit trainer snapped a shot of my son and daughter doing Day 8 of the burpee challenge right next to me. How cool is that?

I have yet to actually finish one of these but I have to tell you I get really close! It really is a constant reminder to get that water in all day every single day. I'm still a work in progress.

It's HOT out there and I do mean HOT! I have been running in the heat and I really thought that 5K wouldn't be too bad because it was earlier in the morning. My good friend who is about to run the "Hottest Half Marathon" in Dallas, snapped this shot of me.

I'm sure if you make this larger you can see how red I am. 

Eating out:
Subway - Ham Sandwich 8/4
Chilis - 8/3
The goal - Nothing from a box or package. I blew that goal the very next evening! I made some long grain rice from a box. This is one of the hardest things to do.
