Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up

Well, this week was my first official week with two no movement days.  And while I am frustrated that I missed two days, I am also really proud of myself.  I mean... we're talking going from working out 3 days a week at the maximum since August 2013, and most weeks not working out at… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up

Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up

I can't believe that February is halfway over!  My body has been a-movin-and-a-groovin this past week.  Here's a summary... Housework. Housework. Ran on the track at the gym. ZUMBA!

Month of Movement

I can't believe that it is already February.  January flew by!  Especially the last two weeks... and I have no blog entries to show for it.  I also haven't been using MyFitnessPal and I missed a week of Zumba.  Oh and we won't talk about my project 365... :( I have fallen into the resolutioner… Continue reading Month of Movement

A Goal Accomplished!

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't sure what my day would bring.  It was cold outside, cold enough for snow.  I hadn't gotten in any running in the last week because of work circumstances way beyond my control - more on that some other time.  I wasn't completely sure of myself... but I… Continue reading A Goal Accomplished!

My 5k Races

So remember how I wanted to get into the swing of things and run again?  Yeah, I'm really slacking.  I was doing great at first, but lately I've just been lacking motivation.  When I get home from work I'd rather just be a slug most days than go out to the gym or run around… Continue reading My 5k Races

My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k

I'm not new to running.  I've been a "runner-in-progress" for over 4 years now.  My running started in January 0f 2008 when a friend of mine, Heather, decided to get healthy and lose weight.  We started working out together, which included running.  I remember a huge sense of accomplishment with her when I ran my… Continue reading My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
