Bring on the HEAT and Tay Tay

Hi from the depths of Hell, I mean Kansas, where you can already fry an egg on the sidewalk and summer has just begun.  Very little running is happening right now and that is just the way it is.  I am hoping all of this lifting is going to get me some great gains in fall and winter running this year.  I got four really good work outs this week including a killer leg, 2 arms, and core work out.  I'm loving our rack system and our home gym and still loving the Peloton Strength plus app.  I really enjoy being able to do what I want, when I want and not relying on a class schedule.  

 

Ollie got in a few miles but not much due to the heat and her inability to calm the F down.  We will do what we can this summer, but it may be more lifting and a lot less running.  

While I haven't noticed belly fat disappearance, I have noticed fat leaving in my legs, arms, and back.  I know it will take time, but I am loving what I am seeing, even if the scale isn't moving an inch.  

We did have some mid-week Taylor Swift bingo.  Jess and Tony and Andrew and I played hookie from some responsibilities and went to Topeka for good food and BINGO!

None of us won and most of the songs they played were not her more popular songs, so it was a weird night for that, but we enjoyed the company and food and the drinkies.  Plus, I got some new bracelets to keep or trade in the future!

We also ended the week with some night racing.  While it started out a little shaky, we ended up with two podiums and a big fat last place due to being so overweight our car/driver didn't even register on the scale.  Sigh.  I see our quarter midget journey coming to an end and I just don't want it to :(

Remember the whole suit debacle where we waited from December to get a suit made and delivered and we never got it?  Well we finally got it and guess what?  First race and he is already saying it doesnt' fit.  At this point, he's going to have to make it work till the end of the racing year and we will figure out something new and better next year.  Sigh.  

The Honda car finally looked decent and he was battling with the leaders and dropped back for a third.  He also had a smoking fast animal car and due to issues with his racing buddy's car, he ended up getting a second in that class.  We won't talk about 160 because being that overweight just won't work for being competitive yet we need the weight to keep the car on the ground.  

I have a tiny glimmer of hope that we will finish this year and maybe get another year but with the majority of the kids in the class being close to 100 and him being closer to 180, it just isn't working.  No one wants to be last every race.  We honestly got lucky this weekend to get podiums because even when the cars are dialed in, he just can't compete with the smaller kids.  We will keep digging as I don't want it to end and as I said, at this point I hope we can at least finish this year as he grows daily.  

Have a great week y'all and stay cool!
