Happy Monday

Happy Monday to all, it was a little rough getting up this morning,  I definitely pushed myself for the 5k on Sunday and was feeling it today.  Sometimes no matter how much stretching and how much water intake and how much you do everything right you still may feel it the next day.  I didn't take a rest day though, I did take a rest from the legs but I worked on some upper body this lunch hour.  I focused on my biceps and triceps and shoulders and backs.  I am still feeling that high from my PR from yesterday it definitely lets me know that all the time and training is paying off, I can only get better from here.  I did all my food prep yesterday so that was good, that helps in making sure that I eat all the right thing.  I also made sure to get those BCAA's in to help with my recover because those have seemed to help out a great deal.

As I was looking through Facebook this morning I discovered a new app, to claim my race results an d have them all in one place, which will be nice, so I don't have notes all over the place.  I will include the link for people to check out  https://www.athlinks.com .  Some of the smaller races I have done do not seem to be there but its okay I have found the ones I really like to keep track of.  Well have a great night and stay cool...  until next time.

Running running and more workouts

It always seems that as the week begins the weekend is here and that I have let the blog get away from.  This week was filled with lots of running, Camp Gladiator and hitting the gym with the girls at work and with a friend after work.  I have been keeping up with my tempo runs and sprints runs so keep a steady pace and work at decreasing my time for the races.  I can feel slowly that I am progressively getting faster and my stride has also improved, all important in my mission to become a better runner and my over all fitness health... Some positives for this week were that I went to the doctors and I am down 20 pounds from this same time last year which is wonderful.  I can definitely see the changes in my body and physical appearance all the way around.  So here is to keeping my activity up and facing all the challenges ahead with a smile on my face. Well tomorrow brings the Pretty n Pink 10K, in Clearwater, can't wait to see what my time will be.  ...

Happy Sunday to all!  Today was a fantastic day, my mo, grandpa and I rant he Pretty and Pink 5k and 10k in Clearwater.  With a 7:15 am start it called for an early morning.....  for all of us.  Well it was a great run for me and I did manage to maintain at 10:11 minute mile for the first 3 miles and choose to back down just a little bit because I didn't want to tire myself out completely and those energy because I still wanted to PR.  I managed to shave 9 minutes off my last 10k time, was I super excited with all the hard work I have been putting in and to see the overall results, this was amazing to me....  I pushed myself like I have never pushed myself before.... My grandfather who is 81 years old place 1st in his age group and my mom 2nd place in her 10k age group.  I was number 9 out of 18 right in the middle of the pack..  Good thing I hustled in the end because there were 9 other women that were all on my heels and they came in pretty quic...

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog, and well that is officially over tonight, I am back at it, from now until February and beyond.  Since my last post I have dived deep into Camp Gladiator and loving it, I have definitely gained the extra strength through these boot camp classes and reaching my all around goals in running and fitness.  Since my last blog, we ran the East Lake Fire Rescue 5k, I love this event it is definitely a community race, with lots of kids and parents and firefighters out there for a good cause.  I ran a good first 2 miles and lost some gas in the 3rd mile, I need to figure out what is going on there, but I and always making changes and my run better.  My mom who ran with me as always came in 2nd on her age group and I keep climbing in my age bracket.  I never really done this to place but maybe one day top 10 will be in my sites.. This past weekend I kind of slipped on the running, but I will be back at it this week and weekend...
