South American Workouts Are Muy Bueno!!!

Hola amigos y amigas!! Lo siento por el largo tiempo entre los blogs pero mis ejercicios no han sido consistentes!!!  (Translation: Hello friends!! I'm sorry for the long time between blogs, but my workouts have not been consistent!!) Well, I guess that's not completely true since I have been getting my butt kicked two-three times a week by my trainer Lindy...but as far as doing stuff on my own, I'm still slackin' pretty bad!!! I really miss when I was working out 5-6 days a week...where, or where did that motivation and lack of need for sleep go?!?!? Anyways...I did have some amazing workouts while visiting South America, and participating in a medical mission trip to Lima Peru!!! Not only did my glutes and quads get some amazing toning from the millions of stairs I ran up and down daily...not to mention the 280+ steps we had to walk down and then back up to get to the beach!!!:) but i also had a REALLY GREAT run on Tuesday night with my friend Jake!! We ran down the boardwalk, and down to the area close to the beach (and again back up some crazy stairs!!)...it was great weather and a beautiful sunset that we ran into...plus the area we were in, Miraflores, is a VERY active community...and SO many people were out walking/running/roller blading (apparently it's still pretty cool in SA!!), playing with their dogs, and enjoying the wonderful weather at one of the many parks in the area!! It was great...we ran for almost an hour and only had to stop a lil while climbing back up the stairs, and for just a lil bit after we got to the top...I felt great while running, and after running, and I wasn't even that sore the next day!!! The other amazing workout I got was SURFING in the PACIFIC in SOUTH AMERICA!!!! Wow...I forgot what an AMAZING full body and soul workout surfing can be!!! There was a group of 7 of us..all the rest were newbies...and everyone did great and was able to stand up at some point or another!! It was awesome!!! I was COMPLETELY wiped after that!!! The surf instructors were AWESOME!!! I was pretty sore the next day...granted traveling for 12 hours later that evening/next morning didn't help!! :) So now that I'm back in the states and slept for almost 2.5 days straight I'm ready to start hitting it hard...I gotta find that WORKOUT FIEND again and PRONTO!!!! Wednesday was a good day with Lindy...not too hard, but definitely got my HR up and my core is REALLY sore today!! Looking forward to another good workout tomorrow (technically later today!!) and then meeting with the nutritionist so I can hopefully get back on track with my diet!!! So I'm thinking about doing the Danskin Women's Triathalon in Austin on June 5th..starting this Sunday I would have 9 weeks to train...that's definitely plenty!! Maybe if I go ahead and sign up and pay the money it'll motivate me!! I think I'm gonna do it!! I gotta do something!!! Just need to check and make sure I didn't ask off for that weekend for something else!! Ok..so do ya'll think I should do it?!??! I'll keep ya posted!! Ok i really need to try and catch some sleep!! Buenas Noches!!! Chow!!!
