The Beginning:



August 6, 20017

Happy Sunday Everyone, I decided to write about my running journey to the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February 27, 2017.  I share any tips I may have and everything that I have learned through my own experiences.  Today we began at the bottom of Clearwater Memorial Bridge, made our way down to the beach and over the Sand Key Bridge to the park entrance and back.  It was a rough run, but I ran both bridges on the way out but had to walk the Clearwater Bridge on the way back.  Little challenges with the heat, but I kept at and will keep at it.  I have attached my water so pictures so you can see about the progress the run.  I always travel with my water belt in hand and my wireless head phones as well....  The water belt always has gatorade and water, and I try to make sure I take frequent breaks to get both in especially while training...  Well enjoy your Sunday and lets see whats next.

Tuesday Back to Work

AHH...  Tuesday and it was a cross training day. I did get my butt out of bed and put a disc in the DVD player and hit a 30 minute cardio and 30 minute strength training workout with Real Appeal.  These are DVD's based on a weight lose program, but they are great in helping with my overall training.  There are 5 different levels, and I have made it to level 4 and they really kick my butt.  The cardio and strength training really work your core muscle groups .  I love to sweat... I also dd my regular lunch time workout, I hit the elliptical for 35 minutes and then did some great stretching exercises.  I definitely need to concentrate on the stretching and not getting hurt.  I love that I have the option of working out at lunchtime to add to my overall workout schedule.  These workouts really make me feel great.  I hit the stairclimber for 35 minutes using my Aaptiv app and I also did 9 minutes stretching exercises as well...  I really l...

Under the weather

Hey Everyone, I know its been a few days since I wrote a blog, but starting Monday when I was working out I felt a little under the weather, so I took Tuesday off and rested and listened to my body.  That is the one thing that I have learned about my body when it says rest and take it easy, I rest and take it easy.  I wanted to make sure that I was feeling good for the See the Dog Jog this weekend.  https://www.facebook.com/events/1376549499067676/?fref=ts   I did try and complete a work out on Monday with Aaptiv again and my good friend Rochelle M, she totally rocks the music and the intervals and the workout and general,  lets just saying I know I was in rough shape when I was just walking and I was sweating way more than normal.  I also worked out yesterday with Rochelle M.  I chose a beginner workout with short intervals, again I didn't want to over do it.  Today I decided to try a new trainer Ray Wallace, on the stair climber  let just s...

The Weekend is Almost here......

Hello Everyone,  Its been a few days, you all must know how it is, it is like the entire day goes by and before you know it is time for sleep.  I again went the last few days to the Aaptive app for some additional exercise,  I worked on the stair climber and a strength and toning exercise that covers the entire body.  I am loving getting the extra workouts in along with my running.  Hoping to start getting those weekday early morning runs in so I can balance everything out again.  Today's workout was a killer I did the Aaptiv App with Rochelle M. and it was intervals from as low as 5 miles per hour to 7 miles per hour, I am amazed at how far I have come with my personal running goals.  I so can't wait for the Hooters to Hooters 10k on September 10, 2017....  Definitely hoping to hit a really good time with this race.  The last few days I also played witth Athlinks the https://athlinks.com, and I was able to all those local races, that I ...
