Myrtle Beach Recap

I know that Sarah posted a couple pictures from our trip already but I thought it wouldn't hurt to post a couple more. Our trip was filled with tons of swimming..

Going to the beach only at night.  It was so hot there and combined with the two shark sighting that happened while there which made the lifeguards clear the ocean both times we felt it was best to only visit the beach when it was cooler and were not going to be swimming in the water.

Lots of dancing.  This is Elsa group that took fourth in the overall finals.  They totally rocked it.

Below is the costume Grace wore for the dance that took 2nd overall in finals.  Wish I had a picture of the entire group but I don't so this picture will have to do.

It was a great trip.  We worked out all but one day while we were there.  Ate tons of salads and had tons of fun hanging together.  But now back to the grind

My brother and his family are here and Sarah gets here today!!  Love summer for many reasons but one big one is that everyone comes to visit.

My brother also loves to work out so we just got done will a killer stair/run workout and snapped this picture.  It was a great one and I swear it was like 100 out with about 70% humidity.   Anyone else feeling the major heatwave that is going on right now???  It is killer.   My workouts this week will be all Kinetic Edge classes.  I am taking all my family there for classes this week as well.  For all those of you that have asked about the gym.. yes it is only in one location as of now.  It focuses on mainly Kettlebells but he likes to throw in some plyometrics to I think break it up a little.  It is intense and unlike any gym I have ever been to and I totally love it.  If anyone of you are ever in the area email me and I will hook you up with a class to try it.  You will be hooked. 

We are all doing the Warrior Dash this weekend.  Anyone else done it yet??  It should be super fun.  If you have done it let us know!! How was it?  Any tips we should know?

Home to some Muscle Nog!

Made home late last night.  I was exhausted!  Dance competition wore me out but I am so proud of the girls, they did such a great job!  I am sure Heather will tell you more about it next week. I was also proud of Heather and I because we ate salads for almost every meal besides breakfast.

Oh and funny story, because I always carry on my suitcase when I travel I just use whatever the hotel has for lotion.  So after I got out of the shower one day I put "lotion" on and then come to find out it looks just like the conditioner! So I conditioned my body after the shower lol!

This was taken on my cab ride home last night.  Sometimes the city just looks so beautiful.

And when I got home my delivery of 4 tubs of MUSCLE NOG had arrived!  Woohoo!  So this morning I ran...


10 miles at 1:30 flat.  First 5 were great and the last 5 sucked because one, I was tired and two, I am stupid and didn't bring water or a gel so I was parched and sweatin like a dog!  I hate to say it but I am ready for cooler running weather.  This next week it is supposed to be in the 90s everyday.  dang!

Monday I start my NYC marathon training.  Yay! and Nay! at the same time.

You guys have any fun plans for the weekend?

Do you carry-on or check your luggage?

Muscle Nog- Who wants to try it? We are thinking about doing a Giveaway soon!  What do you need??

Busy with Dance Competition

Sorry folks for the lack of posting today!  Ever since we landed in Myrtle Beach we have been dancing and dancing.  Yesterday Grace had one dance in the middle of the day.  Afterwards we headed to the pool then back to competition at 7 for awards.  The show went late so we decided to just head to the beach to get a quick bite and see the ocean before we went back to bed.

This morning we had to be back at dance comp at 7 AM.  Elsa had three dances and hers were all first.  Oh and I forgot to mention that Heather and I got up really early to take a little jog.  That jog ended up being only 2 miles and it was already so humid at 5:30 in the morning that when we got home it looked like we ran through the sprinkler!

Anyways, after Elsa danced, Grace had her 3 dances and then were the awards.  Grace's group took home some high golds and a platinum as well as Elsa.  But Elsa's tap dance is headed to finals on Friday!  She was super excited.

We actually have a TON more pictures but unfortunately the Internet is uber slow and we haven't really been able to log on or upload so we will share much much more when we arrive home.  Tomorrow we have the day off from dance so we will be spending it by the pool and maybe head to the aquarium.

Here is Elsa's group getting their photos for finals!

We are also hopping to swim laps in the morning for 30-45 mins for our workout.  It has been a challenge finding healthy good food but I will say that we have done a pretty good job.  We have been eating salad for lunch and we also had salad at dinner with our pizza from Mellow Mushroom!

Well I am off to bed, it is only 10 but I am exhausted.  Everyone else is already asleep!

We hope to get another post in while we are here but if not we will definitely have more pictures up when we get back.  Not to mention the super sweaty one of Heather and I when we got back from our run this morning.
