Good afternoon all, I didn't get a chance to write yesterday. Had a busy day, up at 4:30am to attend a taping of Anderson Live in NYC. I was literally up and out from 5am to 11:30pm yesterday, good news is I managed to incorporate a workout in between my busy schedule. As crazy as it sounds, working out is what got me through the day 50 minutes on the elliptal gave me the boost that I needed to caring on.
So, when you thing your plate is too full and you're running out of steam, try and get a quck cardio session in and wake those sleeping endorphins you'll be glad you did.
Have a good day and survive tomorrow's storm by staying in and staying safe....

Well, today was a good day. I had a group run scheduled, it was just me and one other and I usually don't like running with guy's because I tend to hold them back but it was a successful run and I managed to push through. It also helped me realize I need to mix it up a bit and add some sprinting to my weekly workouts.
If you need to be push, check out my website and give me a call. I have reasonable rates and we can meet one on one or just check in over the phone to make sure you are getting your workout in and doing it correctly. http://elissarichardson.intuitwebsites.com/
Have a great evening and make sure you do something healthy this week, even if its just a 15 min walk you gotta start somewhere.

Happy Monday!
I'm late posting, but I got an early start. Today was a repeat of Saturay, I took Staten Island Ferry into the city to run in the park. I had a great morning and got 6.5 miles in, I tweeked my ankle on Saturday but its feeling better today.
I have to stay focused and make sure I get running in a minimum of 3 times this week.
Have a great week!

Run NYC
yesterday I decided to take the ferry into Manhattan and run, I truly enjoyed it! Sometimes you need to do something different to mix it up a bit. I ran 5 miles in 45 mins it may not sounds great, but thats a personal best for me.
today is another great day to be out so make sure you grt a workout in!

I will never get tired of saying it, today was another beautiful day and I was able to meet up with my running crew for an outside run today. My crew only consist of two other runnings, but it makes a difference for me. My usually 10:30mm was 9:44mm I'm so proud of me.
One thing I did learn today though was to never eat a fiber bar before a run, I'm still having to go and its not a good feeling. I had a meeting today from noon to 2pm and that was all I had in my bag, next time it will be basic fruit for me. Everyone is different, but something tells me nobody should do this :-)
Have a great evening and tomorrow we will have rain, so if you don't like getting we I suggest you pre-plan tomorrow's workout at the gym.

Happy hump day!
The sun is shining again and I must say its a great motivator to push me to get out and exercise. If you're new to working out, don't overdue it, but if you're a veteran today is a good day to push yourself by trying something different like sprinting for 20 seconds or stopping and adding push ups every 15 minutes during your run.
Whatever you do, make sure its something.
Enjoy!!!

Hello all, I'm late posting. They say, better late then never :-)
This weekend was a busy one for me, but I managed to get a 3 mile run in yesterday since it was so beautiful out. Today's workout was inside and it concluded legs and a two mile run on the treadmill. Not a huge fan of the treadmill, but boy did I get my sweat on I love being able to add a hill when I'm ready and stop it when I can't hang.
Wishing everyone a fabulous week!

Happy Hump Day!
Good morning, good morning. I hope that everyone is managing to stay as dry as possible?
Since the weather is not cooperating, I opted to hit the treadmill today instead of the payment. I mixed it up a bit by doing a mile, then getting off and doing a set of squats, stiff legged dead lifts and then back for another mile on the treadmill and repeat for 3 sets, ended with 100 lunges, ouch!!!
Today's good news, I had a blast at the gym and I swear I'm still sweating and I've been done for over an hour. Praying the weather holds up and I can run in Manhattan tomorrow.
Have a terrific day.....

I've been gone, but I hope everyone hasn't forgotten and been slacking off :-)
I ran in a 5K over the weekend to support Center for Hope, which is a hospice center located in Scotch Plains, NJ. It was nice running out in the cool fall weather, seeing the leaves on the ground. The bad news is, I haven't run since Saturday and though I have hit the gym I miss running already and plan to log some miles first thing in the morning. Hope you plan on joining me.

No Pain, No Gain
Well, well, well.....
I got to run with my former running group yesterday and its been a while, over a year and boy did trying to hang with them kick my butt. I'm so glad I had the opportunity though so now I know I need to be more focused and include group runs at least once a week if possible in addition to my solo runs when I tend to run for the shear enjoyment of it.
It always nice to have support that pushes you to be your best.
Stay encouraged!

Happy, happy Monday!
Good morning and Happy Monday!
Its getting chilly out there and I have to admit even I was tempted to stay in bed and not get a workout in. Thank goodness I decided to get up and out this morning, took the workout inside by doing a back and bicep workout, finishing up with 3 miles on the treadmill.
Have a great week and remember to keep moving, if you need encouragement checkout my website and sign up for my services. Its an inexpensive way to stay encouraged.
