Bring on PB&J

It has been a busy crazy week....  Lots going on especially preparing for my 5k in the morning.  This will the 1st annual PB&J Race in Clearwater, so this should be a good one.  I did some a lot of double workouts this week, building strength in my legs.  As always did you use the Aaptiv workouts along with some of my own experience this week.  I swear by the classes and the instructors they really make you work for what you want......  I like the challenges and never though I would be do a stair climber backwards.  Through all this I have managed to drop a solid 5 pounds and keep it off which helps with the running in the end.

I will be making sure that add my results from Athlinks, it is so nice to have all your information in one place.  I love the homepage where I have my best times in each category from 5k to 10k and more.  It is great to check it all out at once.  Here is the link to check out https://accounts.athlinks.com.  They have also just created an app that you can download in the Itunes store or Google Play store.  

Well I will definitely have pictures and information about the race tomorrow.  I can't wait to lace up my saucony's and run my best.  My goal is 33 minutes, a good minute off my last race.  

Stay cool and enjoy your day.

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...
