Rest day

yesterday was a rest day of my training
so I rode the stationary bike instead
which, i am the worst at
i planned to do 30 minutes 
but was ready to quit after ten
i did intervals of four high, two low
i was so proud when i completed the entire time
there is honestly, no better feeling than the feeling of completing a workout
and knowing you worked your butt off the entire time
best feeling in the world.
since I have always been a runner, i never really ever took time to bike
but let me tell you, it is hard
i was sweating more than i do on most of my runs

 i made crock pot beef stew last night and it was so delicious (with homemade bread).
 i always forget how amazing my crock pot is until i use it again. you can whip on some amazing meals in no time at all. 
it's especially awesome when you're gone all day. 
 luckily, i  have another crock pot meal planned for this week.

Just from reading your workout schedule I've become exhausted. You go girl! Keep up the amazing work and I'm coming over for dinner to eat that delicious looking soup! YUM!

Hey there! I agree, I run too, but biking is super hard! I always sweat much more on a bike compared to when on a run. I also love the crock pot and the dutch oven. There is nothing like throwing ingredients together only to come home to your house smelling as if you've been cooking all day long. Take care,
