Baby Oinkers

Dave was off this past weekend so our friends invited us up to their family ranch to relax and float the Frio River. Of course we didn't say no and Dave just HAD to drive the Jeep! Their ranch is in Leakey which is about 3'ish hours away from us and their property is just beautiful. You cannot beat the Texas Hill Country!

Saturday morning after breakfast the guys and I went down to the hog trap to see what we had. It was a beautiful thing when 5 little piglets were stuck. Now for those who don't know, Dave and I process our own meat that we hunt during season. We make sausage (all kinds) and save the rest for chili meat and ground meat for burgers. IF we have enough pork he will save me the shoulders to cook in the slow cooker which are some of the best eating ever! 

We thanked the Lord for the food, loaded them up and headed back to the cleaning shack. When it came time to leave, Dave and I were lucky enough to leave with three of them!

Now not sure if it was the tubing on Sunday or sitting in the Jeep for 3.5 hours but my lower back was killing me Sunday night and on into Monday morning so yesterday's run was a no go. But this morning's run was good. I am getting up a little earlier so I can start hitting my 5 mile mark and maybe have a little bit more time for stretching. 

Just over 4 miles this morning (plus ab series).....my legs were doing great, it was breathing to keep up that was though. It is progress not perfection so I will just keep going to try to hit my goals one run at time!

Stretching & Oven Bacon

Thursdays are hill days for me. The plan called for atleast 4 miles this morning but it wasn't happening. My tummy had other ideas and my legs were super tight. I am starting to realize the hard way the importance of stretching after running and foam rolling on a regular basis. I only got in 2 miles before the floor and roller were calling my name. 

Disappointed, definitely! But I ran so I need to be grateful for that. Two more runs this week are on the books. Saturday I plan on going to Corpus to run the trail we are running for our race next month. I want to have an idea of what exactly I got myself into! 

Gym selfies are usually not my thing but I wanted to show off the tank that I got! #TexasStrong came about during the Floods of 2015. I bought it because all the proceeds went to help the victims around the Wimberely area from the floods during memorial Day. Unfortunately they still have yet to find two children from the Corpus Christi area which just breaks my heart. 

I wanted to make breakfast today and skip my shake so to kill two birds with one stone (get ready and make food) I tried to make bacon in the oven. I had seen others do it but hadn't tried it myself yet. 

I used my Le Cruset griddle that we got as a wedding present and it was great! I didn't time how long I had them in there but I did end up broiling them for maybe 3 or 4 minutes just before I pulled them out to make sure they were crispy. I hate floppy bacon!

And breakfast is served! Scrambled eggs, bacon, and coffee!
