I am three weeks away from my 2nd half-marathon, I'm only up to running 9 miles so I need to step it up. Today, I ot in 7.5 miles and the plan is 5 miles on Wednesday and 10 on Sunday so the goal has been set.
I'm hopeful the weather will hang in there with me, I hate running in the rain :-)
Have a fabulous week and keep moving.

I have been horrible at keeping this up, but I'm going to make an effort to be more consistent. I'm still getting my daily workouts in, but I've been so busy w/doctor's appts for myself and my dad so its been hectic.
The good news is, I've been given a clean bill of health and I'm grateful to God for that the testing was crueling, but the alternative would have been worse so I won't complain.
I need to get focused on my half-marathon training, I've been running but 7 miles has been my longest run to date and it should be 10 so my goal for next week is to hit that 10 mile mark.
Keep moving and stay tuned, I'm sure I will hit my goal.

I'm back!
I've been off my game regarding posting, but I've been consistent with working out thank goodness. I signed up to run another half-marathon so I need to stay focused and on track. My life has been really busy with screening for breast cancer, but I got official word that my tumor was benign so now back to my regular life. I haven't been able to run for almost a week due to the biopsy, but today I walked 8 miles so I'm feeling really good and will hopefully be able to run starting tomorrow or Wednesday the lastest.
I hope that if you are following me, that you have been keeping up your workouts while I've been MIA and I trust that you have been consistent :-)
Remember, your health needs to be a priority.

I'm back!!!
I've been away for a few days, my laptop was broken, but its all good now and hopefully everyone has been staying track regarding their fitness????
This weather has been a true blessing and I have been taking full advantage of it and it has totally boosted my energy level. So, if you haven't been getting on there exposing yourself to some sun rays, make sure you get your 15 minutes in today.

Rest is Critical
I missed a day of posting, but not a day of working out. I had a rough night of sleeping so it took a lot of effort to get to the gym yesterday.
Though getting there was rough due to the lack of sleep, once I was there I was able to lift and get a hour of cardio in. You have to know your body and that comes in time, but you also have to make sure your body gets its proper rest so the muscles can grow and recover hence why I'm getting a later start today.
Have a great day and do something nice for someone today, even if its just smiling and saying good morning.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Good morning and Happy Valentine's day to everyone.
I know it might be tempting to eat an entire box of chocolates, splurge on a romantic dinner or skip the gym in favor of a movie this Valentine's Day, but you don’t have to let your love life derail your plans to get fit this year. My suggestion is that you get up and out early, hit the gym or do that workout DVD before anything else this morning. If he/she doesn't gives you chocolates, graciously say thank you and eat one, yes only one and either take them to work and share with co-workers or share with the household. Moderation is your friend or it should be :-)
If you don't get a chance to workout and his or her plan is to take you to dinner, finishing up the evening with a nice walk and some Starbucks is always a good way to end a winter evening. Yes, Starbucks has tea or you could get a skim hot chocolate like I do, hold the whip cream!
Have a blessed Valentine's Day with the one you love and if you don't have anyone remember to love you.
