10 miler completed!

-


Here is our group this afternoon up on campus :) This is after they did 3 mile long walk-run. Everyone did GREAT! I was excited to see we had 2 husbands show up too!!! :) We do have a few gals out of town so once the holidays are over I am hoping our group will be even bigger :)

I did about 2.5 miles with the group and after stretching them etc and visiting afterward I headed home to get a bite to eat. I was hungry and I knew I wouldnt make it if I was hungry :)

I did 6.5 miles around campus.. funny thing was ... I really wasnt in the mood to run. I knew I had to get it done if i wanted to not DIE this friday :) I continued to talk myself into continuing. hahha ... After about 2 miles I was feeling GREAT and felt like I could run forever!...

about 4.5 miles I needed to go potty.... Sunday and no restroom but I kept going until 6.5 cause I really wanted to finish... I gave up and headed home to finish the last mile on the treadmill.. I ended up chatting with Jessica (my friend in China) on and off the last mile :).. THAT was fun! Something I have never done while on the treadmill! I walked a bit and typed and jogged a bit... and then walked the last half mile to cool down :)

I am glad i finished and got it done and look forward to 13.1 on Friday :)

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...

Beautiful Monday and Weekend food hangover

-
it was a beautiful morning at the track.. temp in the 50s and no wind! I walked a mile with a friend, then walked jogged 1.5 for total of 2.5 miles this morning.. We came home and I did some burpies with the boys then planks, leg lifts, sit ups, and leg side raises. Those burpies are hard.. I am so sloooooow at them.. but i managed 5. This weekend was free for eating.. I gave that meat a try and its interesting how my tummy reacted..I also had a few cokes.. Isnt it funny how when you dont drink them for a while and then start drinking them again they dont taste near as good as you remember :) anyway.. I am back to veggin it today and looking forward to some green smoothies as soon as i go buy some more spinach :) I am so happy to be seeing muscle showing up in my legs again and really hope this means burning off the fat is not far behind :) I am off to make some breakfast.. decisions decisions.. whole wheat or oatmeal? hummmm
