OK. I do struggle to keep up on my blog. In attempt to better keep up, I am going to start this series: Training Tuesday. Each Tuesday I will post my workouts for the week. Feel free to call me out on them and ask me how I'd doing. :) THANKS! Tuesday: Spinning Class 5k homework with Grace and Hannah ActivTrax Wednesday: run! ActivTrax Thursday: Spinning class 5k homework with Grace and Hannah ActiveTrax Friday: run! ActivTrax Saturday - Sunday: Happy Easter! We will be out of town. Reality...I probably won't do much. I will purpose to walk more, stand more, do a few squats and lunges throughout the day, and do some push-ups!
Here it is...the end of March and I haven't posted in a long time. Nothing new, huh? I have, however, been busy running and working out! Yay! I ran my first 5k of the year on January 3. It was a PR, but I am not sure I believe it....my GPS was acting up and I don't think that it was accurate. Never the less, one done.
Marlee and Me
I attempted to do a run, Run FUR Fun, on January 27 with our dog, Marlee. Well, it was a total flop! She hasn't had enough training to run with me...or I haven't had enough training to run with her. I can't count it as a completed 5k for the year, but it was a learning experience. My girls, 14 year old twins, want to run in a fun run or two with me this year. In February, I took them to our local YMCA and together, we joined the couch potato to 5k class. We have class once a week and homework to complete during the week. They are doing great! We plan on running in a glow run and/or a color run in April and we have been BLESSED with gifts of PAID REGISTRATION to the Dirty Girl mud run in June. Very exciting! I've also been doing weight training a few times a week. I use the Activ Trax program at the YMCA. Activ Trax provides customized strength training workouts. It is a web-based program that creates a new workout each time I go, based on my goals and
abilities.
FOOD!I love food. I am learning to relate to food in terms offuel to keep me going, medicine to keep me healthy, and it is a GIFT - not the enemy.
Here is a new recipe I am going to try this week...maybe this morning!
