Service Day, Swimming, Running, Abs

Last Saturday we had stake service day. Last year the ward was divided up to do service at different places. This year we all met at a local park. I only got a couple of pictures. I enjoy it, but that might because of the second half of it I was standing around talking to some of the moms. :)

Dallin is finishing up the second week of swim lessons. He has two more to go. There was non-stop crying the first couple of days, but we have now made it two days with no crying at all, so it is getting better.  I really like the swim lessons at MSU. It's a bit pricey plus I have to pay to park, but it is two week sessions, four days a week. We are only doing two sessions because of the move. The teacher/student ratio is awesome! Dallin's teacher has Dallin and one other girl. The most students a teacher has is 3. He gets a lot of attention. Sorry the pictures are so blurry. I am sitting on the opposite side of the pool.

Dallin is the one with the yellow noodle tied around him.

Took him a while to agree to jump.

So I have started to run regularly again. I have been running about 15 miles a week, but I want to try to up that to closer to 20. We shall see. This humidity is a killer when you run. I can't stop sweating for a long time after. Also, I am going to try a month long ab challenge I have seen on pinterest. I share only because I feel like if I put it out there I have to stick to it. I plan on 30 days, minus Sundays. I think the first week will be the hardest, but hopefully it will get better. I know my routine will suffer when we move. I always have a hard time getting comfortable finding a running route in a new location. When we moved to Michigan I think it took me a good 2 months before I started to run again and then it turned cold and I quit again. Let's hope this move doesn't have the same effect.
