Bragging Rights

January 18, 2011

Fresh off my second long run for my half marathon training, I realized I hadn’t yet had my brag moment. Starters, I am not a fast runner. I used to be faster. But I’m a slow poke. I always really have been. Though I wasn’t the slowest on my cross country team back in high [...]

Change

October 7, 2010

If you want to produce change in your life, take the time to declare it to the universe in whatever way feels right. {via Daily Om} There’s something ridiculously true about this statement. Regardless what aspect of your life you’re changing – currently for me, I’m changing my body. Crossfit is proving to me that [...]

Intro to Crossfit

October 6, 2010

So I signed up for a death wish CrossFit intro class called “On Ramp.” Crossfit for those of you who don’t know is a high intensity, full body, strength and endurance workout. It’s a sport with competitions regionally, and locally in some cases (which I fully intend on competing in when I practice more). I’m [...]

Early in the morning…

October 5, 2010

I’ve often talked about how I aspire to be a morning person. How I aspire to live like my grandparents who are always up around 6am at the latest with the local country music station playing on the cassette radio they keep in their tiny kitchen they’ve had since the 1950′s. I’ve often told hubs [...]

One or the Other??

September 28, 2010

I took a pilates class this morning. I used to take pilates down in DC back when I was training for marathon #1. It was super helpful especially for my core strength but I stopped for a while and eventually, during and after my third marathon training, I got into yoga. Especially after and before [...]

Lucky Ducks and a 3M Race

June 27, 2010

Apparently I like running in 80+ degree heat. I’ve never been a morning runner, nor have I ever really tried to be. So this past week, it worked out that I ran 3 days in a row – which I don’t usually do even when I’m in full on training mode. It’s usually running M/W/S [...]

Back on the Road

April 14, 2010

So I’m considering shutting down my Fitness blog and changing the focus here to be more inspiration/fitness driven. Apparently, I’ve been told I have a knack for inspiring people. Huh. Who knew? Anyhow. So I’m still deciding, and will likely announce it here, and there, I’ll leave it up of course for now, until I [...]

Not a Morning Person

February 18, 2009

I’ve never been a morning person. Ever. My mother used to fight with me to get me out of bed, and I was consistently *nearly* late for school. Fast forward to college – if I didn’t have my hour to get ready (check email, shower, check facebook, get dressed, dry hair, etc….) I would skip. [...]

Running Just as Fast as I Can

September 15, 2008

I’ve never been a fast runner. I never qualified for States, the only reason I lettered in Cross Country was because there was 6 of us on the team and the top 5 of each team score the points. I happened upon the fifth runner status. That was in fact, seven years ago. I never [...]
