Daddy's Day and Barefoot Running

First off,

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Mr. Amazing and Sirr on my wedding day.  Don't they look handsome??  

As a side note I'd like to say that Mr. Amazing has lost about 70 pounds since this photo was taken in 2009

I've gained almost 3 pounds since we got home from vacation on Tuesday.  Every time I need to lose weight and want to lose it quick I get this dumb idea to try running.  After one running session I remember how dumb I am and how much running hurts me.  

Bad knees, hips, and ankles + running = NO FUN!!

This morning I did 1 mile.  1 tiny mile.  It took me 10 minutes.  I ran for 30 seconds and walked for 30 seconds.  This is what happened besides immense pain.

I don't know how well you can see them but I have blisters on both big toes.  I go barefoot running, did I mention that?  I hate shoes so much that I prefer barefoot running.  Honestly I would be barefoot all the time if I was allowed to be.  

Supposedly barefoot running is better for you.  

Here are some links about barefoot running:

Oh this is what I made Mr. Amazing for his Father's Day dinner.  Paula Deen Pot Roast

Do you run?  What are your views on barefoot running?

I was going to start doing "What I Ate Wednesday" today but I forgot to take photos after breakfast.  It still bothers me that I can't find my ring.  

Since nothing worth talking about happened today besides getting a wicked sunburn on my shoulders at the beach I'll leave you with a photo post from the trip.

Before I leave you with the photos, the prompt today is "What makes your heart leap?"  And honestly it's my family.  The people in these photos.  They "make my heart happy" (as Kai-Lan would say)

Our fridge before we left.  I used up everything that could go bad.

Pile up on daddy!

 Mr. Amazing kills spiders.  He's the best spider killer I know.

Glad that croc's behind glass.  It stared Baye right in the eye.

We kept joking that there would be a mermaid and low and behold there was!

 Looks like a face doesn't it?

I want to hold my vow renewal ceremony here.  In front of this big window

Excellent place.  If you're ever in Clearwater, FL I highly recommend it.

My super grouper sandwich. I had them cook it with cajun spices and grill it.

Mr. Amazing also got wings.

Kay's burger and fruit

Baye had chicken tenders and fries

Mo's fried shrimp and fries 

We played on the playground by the Pier after dinner

She loves to climb

Gorgeous sunset.  This was one of the things on my bucket list.  To see the sunset over the water.

The clouds were amazing

I used the swings as workout equipment.  

Driving to the beach makes me go crazy!
