Busy Mom Likes to Read
I like to read, and run, and rest, and read, and run. But I have got kids. But I try to make a habit of not rotting my brain and keeping a book readily available. Especially during the summer when I can relax by the pool with something that tags my interest. This summer my list includes "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. Yup a book about running. Talk about combining passions.
So here is my list for 2013
1. Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall
2. Forgotten God, by Francis Chan
3. The Silver Linings Playbook, by Matthew Quick
4. Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel (reccommended by a friend, but it looks good)
5. Blood Zero Sky by Gabriel J. Gates

Bulu Box Review
(The above offer is a free-month- so click the link and get signed up!)
First Product that I tried was the Beauty bursts. These are lactose and Gluten Free ( this gets my thumbs up), My sample was the fruit punch flavor and I really enjoyed that, maybe next time I will get to try the Fresh Mint chocolate.
The second Product is the fit n crisp by Pro max. can you imagine a Rice Krispy Treat that also has protein? Yum!
And the kids liked this one too.
Okay so allthat is left is the Allergy medicine which I am saving for my long run, see how that goes, and the berry nutButter. The Nut Butter reminded me of an apple butter, not an aple flavor but the same texture and tangy flavor. It was smooth and again, the kids loved it.
The last product was a fruit punch mixer. For all you Cross-Fitters. this is a good recovery Drink. I tried it but I am saving the rest of it for after my WOD tonight.
Now I am sure that if you click through the link Bulu Box has a special offer for you!

Rainy day in May
WOW! I did not realize that I had been away from blogger for 2 weeks. My last post was May 1. I guess after my 1/2 marathon I just kind of stopped posting about training, mostly because I stopped training.
Not that I stopped excercising. I took 3 days off and then I started doing short runs, I even bought a Groupon to a Cros-Training Gym. I have been going to that and it is similiar to CrossFit, which if you follow this blog you will know I Love CrossFit almost as much as I love Running.
When the month of Cross Training is over I have another Groupon to go back to TriQ CrossFit. For now though I am going to finish up at Whetstone. The people in the class are amazing. Everyone is so nice. In fact I am thinking about alternating months back and forth between the 2 gyms because everyone at both gyms are so nice and they are all awesome. Whetstone is a little cheaper than TriQFit and they also offer childcare during their evening 6:30 class, which unfortunatly TriQFit does not offer childcare.
I also still have a membership at Fitness 19, which is not too expensive (less than $20.00 a month) and they also have childcare when I need it. Though I seem to only go there when I want to run on a treadmill. Lately I have been trying to do runs outdoors.
If you are in Louisville and interested in any one of these amazing Gyms I will list the addresses and phone numbers below, I know right, I am giving them free advertising, but I figure that if i am going to encourage anyone to get fit, I better then encourage them to find fun and affordable encouragement. That is what I get from my gyms. Fun, affordable encouragement. Just tell them Jessica sent you.
Also everyone please go check out my Visalus product. Mrsjessiacl.bodybyvi.com/challenge
I went to Walmart today to get peanut butter and was pleasantly surprised that they now carry PB2, powdered peanut butter. This variation only has 45 calories and less fat, being that the oils are removed from thh peanut butter. i am very excited to try it out in my shakes.

You Dont Have to Be Superman to Set a Goal
I want everyone to go to TriQ CrossFit's Blog page and read this article written by Coach Amy Wacker.
She is telling us how to get started. Challenging us to just get moving, even if you are not a current crossfit athlete, if you dont have big muscles, all that is important is that you just try. That you just want to get in shape.
"You just need to get on it, no matter what your training wheels may look like in the beginning, practice everyday until you reach your goals..."
Do you have Goals? I know that I do!
I want to get strong.
I want to Run a Full Marathon.
I want to run my 5k and 10k races faster.
I want to be a Good Mom
I want my son to be healthy
To reach those goals we need to start somewhere.
The First time I said I wanted to run a Marathon, I was not a runner. I did not even own a pair of running shoes. I just knew it was something I wanted to do. I started a Couch to 5k program, that got me running 1 mile, and then 1.5 miles, and then 3 miles, and then I raced a 5k.
It took me 9 months, but this past weekend (Saturday April 27, 2013) I ran my first 1/2 marathon.
