I was only able to squeeze in a 5k today. Originally  I was hoping to go for a 5 miler but life is sooo busy. This weekend is graduation at Kyle’s school, on Tuesday I leave for my bff’s wedding, plus Kyle has a big athletic assembly Monday morning….so many things! Silly me, I actually thought life would slow down a bit once school was over. Oh well, Kyle has an awesome job and there is love all around us…not much to complain about:)

Day 161: Almost 4 Miler & Other Random Happenings…

Good Morning, Blogging World! Oh my has it been a crazy few weeks. Between working full time, taking care of M.O.H. responsibilities, trying to keep the house organized, and getting my sweat on, I have barely had a minute to sleep, let alone blog. Thankfully, I finally get a few to catch my breathe! Last Friday was my last official day teaching and summer vacation has begun.

espnW is hosting a photo challenge via Instagram & Twitter. It runs throughout the summer with winners being picked daily, weekly, & one huge grand prize winner at the end. The ultimate prize is a trip to Flushing Meadows for the U.S. Open! I know winning a trip to the Big Apple is a long shot but I am having fun! Follow me @thejanellekay to see all of my pics and get on Instagram + Twitter to join in!

Here are  a few throwback pics to when my parents and I went to New York in 2010. It was Rafa’s Career Grand Slam win!

I got off to a super early start this morning:) Not sure why as soon as I stop working I  go to bed at 9:30 and wake up at 5am. Oh well, at least I finally felt like I was able to get some M.O.H. duties checked off. I was even able to sneak in a run with Kirsi & Kai in the stroller. I have so much respect for moms pushing their kids while running, my arms were burning!

No Sugar/No Dairy Updates

From the lack of updates about this challenge it probably seems like I fell off the wagon. Well quite the opposite has happened, I have completely changed my dietary lifestyle and have no plans on returning to my old ways. It has been an incredible journey and it does not feel like 4 weeks have already passed. Hopefully, I have some time to post of few of the new recipes I tried out. Then you can think about becoming vegan with me!

Happy National Running Day!!!

Janelle Running

In celebration of National Running Day, I thought a photo of me running would be appropriate:)

I run for my students!

and by kids I mean my students:)

What do you run for….to feel free…to stay in shape…to set a PR…to burn off the birthday cake you ate at the office??? Whatever gets you out the door, I hope celebrated National Running Day with a solid run! I honored the day with a 5.5 mile run + some yoga during my lunch break & Gabby Douglas’s NTC!

Yoga everywhere

And let me leave you with a photo of me doing yoga in Superstore last night:) #yogaeverywhere
