Back to the Grind...

So happy for it to be Sunday and a new week and getting back to the grind, after a hurricane last weekend and trying to get the house cleaned, it was time to refocus on working out , running and my diet....  I was able to get a few workouts in last week with access to the gym from a friend, which made the week go by just a little bit faster.  Getting the cardio and weights in really helped.

This morning was a little rough, I think I could hear my legs yelling at me, I started with a upbeat Tempo run to get the zone and maintain a run for 3 miles,  I have PB&J  5k next weekend and I want to make sure that I have my tempo and the stamina all set.  After my 30 minute Tempo run, I switched to Aaptiv and worked on sprints for 45 minutes.  30 second on and off, 1 minute on and off and then 90 seconds on and off.  I did this each separate interval 4 times and repeated the routine 2 times. Needless to say the legs were on fire.  It was great to be out on the path with fellow runners, everyone to trying to there old routine.  It was a beautiful sunrise this morning, and the weather was also beautiful not as hot and humid as it good have been..  Well here is to a new week and challenges and successful and getting all that running and weight work done.  Stay cool and there will be definitely a lot more blogs this week, because this girl is back at it.......  Cheers

Camp Gladiator Day one and two

What a week this has been.  When I was at the race on Saturday they had tables with vendors as they always do, the Camp Gladiator was there, I will say that I won a free membership for a session last year and went, but wasn't that impressed with the coach and her plan.  Well they were running a special so my mom and I decided to try this out again with a new instructor.  They are letting us start a bit early before the next session starts, which is great we get a little but more of the experience.  Monday was definitely different but the routines and the coach were awesome and couldn't wait to go back on Wednesday.  Well I did go back on Wednesday and the experience was just as good as Monday, so I will continue through the program and get just a little bit more fit.  Along with the Camp Gladiator I am doing my regular workout routines and running.  The lunch time crew still goes forward daily with the workouts, it is so great to have someone to workou...

Hurricane Irma... Getting those workouts in

Hello readers, I know it has been a few days, well about a week from my last post, but this Hurricane called Irma really kind of messed things up.  I tired to improvise workouts last week in between, trying to get the house ready for what was coming.  I did go to the Aaptiv app for a lot of my workouts because they are classes that I can do at home with the weights that I have here.  I hated that I did get my hands in some junk food including M&M's ugh, those are now off my list of foods to eat for the foreseeable future lol.  I need to go back to my meal planning and eating right and my workout schedule and routine.  My race scheduled for Septembers 10th Hooters to Hooters 10k, was canceled...  Oh well they will reschedule and I will get that 10k completed soon enough. Now on to my PB&J 5k on September 23rd.  I have to keep trudging on and moving forward.  I have no pictures post I sent them to my email from my phone and they are gone and...

Lunch Gym

Its Monday and I always try to make sure I get a workout, because it is probably the hardest day to workout.  For the past 3 months I have been working out with the girls at work in our gym.  I have been trying to do cardio at least on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Weight Training on Tuesday and Thursday.  I started using the Aaptiv app last week to check out the treadmill intervals training to help work on speed and timing, I absolutely love this app.  The one thing that I love is that it feels like the coaches are right in the room with you cheering you on and getting you motivated.  Today I did the Top 40s Blast  Beginner Intervals with Rochelle M, this is a great class and I loved it and felt really good and pumped when I was done.  I have done 2 classes with Rochelle M and I will continue to take them with her.  I am definitely trying Strength Training tomorrow. aaptiv logo you can find it in the Google Store or Apple App. After ...
