A little bit closer to Fitness Ridge...

I am so excited because today my husband and I drove down to the Fitness Ridge Resort. I made a payment on my trip...YAY! That makes this trip seem a little bit more touchable!! It was neat getting to go the resort again, even if only for a few minutes... We did a little walk through the shop there and we bought my Polar FT7 HRM watch and chest strap...TJ even got one for himself (the MAN size of the FT7)...He is training for his first 1/2 marathon that he hopes to do in August in Long Beach, CA. At first I had planned to do it with him but I'm truly scared to run one...I'm not a big runner. I have bad hips and knees...so, it may just be him running and me with a cup of water on the side lines...BUT we'll see. I do hope to run one someday but someday may not be August?? So back to my watch...it's cute! Black with a gold stripe down the center and quite a bit cheaper than I had thought it was 109.95 with chest strap...I was thinking it was going to be like 250.00...so I was pleasantly surprised. Also, while there buying my watch and paying my bill I checked out the Merrill hiking shoes. I found a super cute pair, tiny and petite (hate those ugly big hiking boots) and they were tan with pink detailing...loved them but not the price...90 dollars! UGH!! NO WAY! I will keep my eye open for a better deal that is too much for shoes I may not wear that often.. I was also able to pick up Executive Chef Cameron Payne's 1st and 2nd edition resort cookbooks...they look awesome and I can't wait to plan some meals for family...So I had a very productive day with my husband and made myself a little bit more ready to go to the resort...SO HAPPY!! :D
