Banking the Miles: October Update

October and the beginning of November have been a roller coaster for me.  I've had some huge ups and even bigger downs, I've experienced every emotion in the last couple of weeks in the most intense form.  My diet and my exercise have suffered. I'm starting this week fresh, though.  I have lots of reasons… Continue reading Banking the Miles: October Update

Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up

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

Getting Past Setbacks

So I posted not too long ago about a challenge that I was going after - a 6 week 5k training plan.  I went into the challenge head on and hard - I pushed myself to run at a faster pace and I completed the first week of the workout.  On the very last workout… Continue reading Getting Past Setbacks
