Sad Departure

Day 16:

Had to give it back today, the garmin that is ):

Had an awesome run this morning though! I have never pushed myself so hard outside yet. Goes to show the motivational power of a tracking device. We all strive to be better. We want to be better than ourselves.

I love this feeling. Maybe that's why they call me psycho! Ha- LOVE IT!

Lovin Legs!

Day 15:

Kinda wondering....prob should check...if my day count is off??!!

So (didn't check), had an AMAZING leg & tosh workout today at my addiction! Maybe one of these days I will reveal my secret. Not today.

Went out for a longer run after class as well, sunny breezy hilly and glorious (: Got to get these kids moving!

Distance: 5 miles

All About the Timing

Day 14:

Catching up on my research to back me up on the belief that you need to crosstrain to just plain run better! My fav mag, Runners World, is always there for me. Marketability of the sport of running is very close to my heart.

After running, a complete stranger told me I looked beautiful. I will never stop running!

Distance: 7 miles
Time: 58:31 minutes

Great Timing is in Your Head

Day 13:

Damn did I feel good today on my run. It goes to show you that mentally thinking, "Yes, I can really go faster", works wonders!

However, I worked on weight and interval training the past two days. I am now convinced that in order to get my speed where I want it to be I MUST INTERVAL AND WEIGHT train! This goes for everyone, men and women. Ladies, you WILL NOT, I repeat: WILL NOT, get huge from implemented weight training into your workouts. It's a great fat-burner as well (:

Distance: 5 miles
Time; 39:39 minutes

Day 12:

Had a friend tell me I was inspiring her to run further, longer and harder! Great compliment! This is just one of the many reasons I run. I inspire to touch the lives of many!! I've got big plans for all you runners out there, but I know you've got plans too!

Made it to the trail today after weight and interval training with an awesome instructor. I'm obsessed (:

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 30 minutes

Keep Moving

Day 10:

Feeling a little like I'm lacking something today. I'm blessed in so many ways and I want to use this advantage to help those who are less fortunate than I. It seems like every single day there is news of tragedy, natural disasters or terrorists acts. We should not look to promote the unfortunate, but assist those affected. It's not enough to just be.

It is a goal of mine to spend the little time I have on this earth spreading peace, aiding the willing and reaching far beyond my potential. Not everyone is as blessed as I. Can't go through life flipping page after page, draft something worth reading.

Distance: 5.25 miles
