I was trying to think of something fun to do for my 15 minutes today, it was going to be outside, but then the cold front moved in and the rain started. Apple was napping and J and I were snuggled under a blanket watching a movie. What to do to get us moving?
Our movie ended and Apple woke up, so I pulled one of my old Dance Mix Cd’s off the shelf, 1994 actually, and popped it into the cd player. Well, J was breakdancing and Apple was jumping and I was dancing like it was 1994. We had a blast, so much fun after 15 minutes we swapped our 1994 for 1995 and went for another 15 minutes.
It was great, nothing like a little dancing to get the blood pumping.
This week has been a mostly cardio week for me. Not only have I been running, but I have been running around a lot it seems. Even if most of it has been in my backyard. I got in three 3k walks and two 3k runs and only one strength training. When the weather is this good it is really hard to stay inside to workout. I think I will try to do some outside routines in this next week.
I was going to share with you the ‘Superman’, but I will save it for next week.
Andrea over at The Fishbowl has brought forward a challenge, complete with prizes. And I am not one to back down from a challenge that is for sure. The challenge is to add 15 minutes of focused activity into your day. Since I am already trying to fit in some extra activity into my day, I thought I would take this challenge to add something different that I normally wouldn’t do or wouldn’t consider activity.
Today, I did 15 minutes of focused activity running the circumference of my pool (while in the water). This is my first Fit-in 15 activity. We do this occasionally for fun, we run in a circle in the pool, which is 15′, to get a whirlpool effect going. So , today I got in there and ran and ran and then I changed direction and did it again. Changing direction is quite difficult because you get the water going pretty fast, then you have to run against the current until the current changes with you.
So, what are you going to do to add 15 minutes of focused activity to your day?

I ♥ Faces theme for this week is “sepia toned”. I couldn’t think of a better photo to enter than one from the wedding I shot a few weeks ago. This is one of my favourite photos of the Bride, she is ready and taking a moment and I was able to capture it. I had already tried this photo in black and white, but adding a hint of sepia just made it more of a favourite for me.
Be sure to head over and check out other entries in the Adult Category of Sepia Toned faces. There are so many wonderful ones to choose from, I don’t envy the judge one bit.
