Bring on PB&J

Image
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...

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...

It is now time to catch up on my workout for today.....  Lunch hour arrived and down we headed to the gym, gym bags in hand, bcaa's(from ideal fit), water bottles, and towels.....  So I hurried up and changed into my gym clothes, hopped on that treadmill, and started the Aaptiv app and turned on the Pop 2K Push with Rochelle M. and off I was on 36 minutes of intervals, inclines, tempo runs and just pure fun.  I loved this class, it kept me focused on my running and  my form.  The playlist for this class was fantastic some classic dance music, that I could sing to in my head while I was concentrating on my run.  Rochelle M.  keeps you motivated the entire time and it helped in hitting my stride and want to keep going and not lower the speed on that treadmill.  My ultimate goal is to gain speed and stamina and this class will definitely help with that. In no time I will reach my first goal....  Focusing on my race next Sunday in Clearwater. ...
