I didn’t run or do Pilates! Instead we had family day at the gym. Tate, my little brother, little sister, and I hit the YMCA to work-it-out. It was 45 minutes on the elliptical for me. I haven’t been a gym goer since I left for Peru two years ago and while I enjoy it every now and then I have grown more fond of non-gym workouts. It was really perfect for today though.
Late afternoon the sun came out (it never got above freezing though) and two of my sister’s and I bundled up for a walk.
The three of us haven’t been together for 15 months!
I am still walking a little funny due to some very sore hamstrings. 😦
This gorgeous farm is right on the edge of town.
↑ Main street of our quaint town. We actually grew up on a farm 40 minutes south of here but this was our town, where we came for dance classes and Chinese food.
Tonight Tate and I are going to his brother and sister-in-laws for Sunday night dinner. I am excited to see our 3 1/2 month old nephew!
What did you do today? Paddle boarding? Yoga? Running? Exercise TV?

because you get out of it what you put into it.

I took a nap this afternoon – and as a result feel like I slept the day away. I am going to do some form of exercise before bed – but probably something very low key.
Yeah! I did it! I did the Stress no More workout in the Dec. issue of Self. Awesome, relaxing strength moves. I even felt so good after, I tacked on some Pilates.
I love it when exercise inspires me to exercise MORE just because it feels so good! Great work!
yay, I love when families are physically active together. 🙂 You grew up on a farm? That is so neat.
It was more of a farm commune than an animal or agricultural farm. It was a great place to grow up, playing in the dirt and running through the fields! 🙂
Looks like you had a great time with your family! I did my Turbo Fire DVD and yoga and pilates! A great work out:)
P.S. I love the Oprah quote about running…so true. I admire those than can run during the winter. I am struggling:)
Winter running is a challenge for sure. I think the quote can apply to all exercise!
Sounds like you had a great workout yesterday!
It must be extra special to be with your sisters…15 months is a long time.
I can definitely relate to have family in far away places.
I am really close with my sisters so it’s awesome!
As another girl with sisters, this post made me smile! I am about to see my two older sisters after having been apart since last Christmas. Hope you are enjoying being back in your hometown!
