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.  I have working hard to get a PR tomorrow in this race so fingers crossed that the work I have been putting in pays off.  

So everyone stay cool and new of my race result will go up tomorrow afternoon.  Keep reading......

This week was a bust but I managed to make the best of the weekend.

This was a rough week, my mom was out of town, had to take care of the dogs and just didn't feel the greatest, not always sure if I should take the days off or push myself further.  I decided to do a little of both, but made sure still eat great and get myself to bed at a decent time.  With all that aside, I got up Saturday morning ready to rock in roll,  we decided to stay local, one because I overslept a little and two because we were not sure what was going on with the weather.  I did a short 4 mile walk/run to make sure I was feeling better and not to push myself to far..... Now Sunday was a different story, I hit the streets of Safety Harbor and didn't look back.  I went to my Aaptiv app to get some endurance and speed training in, so I can get faster.......  I really enjoy the Aaptiv apps and there endurance challenges and the way the music is timed perfectly to the speed challenges.  I have some great pictures and video from our run.  As ...

Sunday.... lets begin the week off on a good note

I wasn't sure when I went to bed last night if I was going to run this morning,  I wasn't feeling very well my stomach was yelling at me last night.  After trying to relax I was able to fall asleep but tossed and turned most of the night.  Well that being said, I laced up the saucony's and hit the pavement to get this run in.  It was a bit rough from all the energy I put into yesterdays PB&J 5k but I knew I had to hit the pavement and keep going.  I went a head and used the Aaptiv app to do a tempo run and some sprints.  My legs did want to give in at some point but I kept moving forward, I was getting 6 plus miles in today no matter what......  We did run through Safety Harbor down to Gulf to Bay and then across to Del Oro Park and back to downtown Safety Harbor.  There were quite of few runners this morning, but not as many as on a Saturday.   My legs were pretty sore from my push yesterday, but I also worked 7 hours yesterday afternoon...

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...
