8 miles in 7:12 pace

Busy Monday started at 6:15 a.m. with a quick 8 miles then home to feed kids, get Abe out the door for school, start the first of six loads of laundry, shower, eat, and get Bre to her gymnastics class by 9:15 a.m.  Ali and I went grocery shopping while Bre tumbled and twirled in gymnastics.  After that we went to the Flatiron Athletic Club where the girls played in child care while I got the tour, signed a membership, and did a short core/weights workout.  I am really pleased with the FAC.  They have a great child care facility with awesome staff who said I can even go outside for a run as long as I take my cell phone.  While there are various great options for clubs to join here in Boulder, the FAC is closest to my home, offers everything I could ever possibly want in a club (even pilates reformer classes!), and FAC is also where Coach D and Colleen are members, teach a plyos class, and where Colleen is a personal trainer.  Now I just need to get myself on Colleen's schedule so she can whoop my bum into gear.

As if your bum's not already in crazy gear. :)

That sounds like one outstanding pro-athlete supportive facility! :) I wish my bum was as fast as yours when it's not in gear!

That is so awesome that they will let you run outside! I need to start gunning for that amenity here in Ut.

Catherine-My bum and quads may be somewhat in gear, but my core, hips, and upper body are in need of a little whip snapping.

April-Haha. I admit, my bum IS in some gear (maybe 3rd or 4th) but I'd like to work it into 5th gear here soon if you know what I mean. :)

Mel-I KNOW! I was STOKED to find out I can run outside. I don't understand what the big deal is anyway as long as you have your cell phone. Well and as long as they are willing to change a diaper.

Stephanie-Thank you! And welcome to the blog!! Looks like you are new to CO. What brought you to Littleton? You are a fast runner! If are ever coming to Boulder, send me a personal message and we can hook up for a run.

Will do Nan! And same to you if you come to Denver..would certainly love the company! I moved out with my daughter this summer..really just to try something new! Enjoying the west so far but I really think I belong in Boulder and not Denver, as I mentioned :) Baby steps, I guess!
