What I find most attractive about endurance sports, whether it be running, biking, or a tough mudder Is not testing my body, instead, testing my will. It is as though my body takes the back seat to a more powerful force beyond the tissue fibers and muscles.

I just want to log onto Myfitnesspal and log “i’m fat…”
When you have lost track of your calories already at noon, you know it’s a bad day.
Time for a hard run and a living room ass kicking during some trash TV tonight.
and having sore hammies!
Today begins the 50 Day Binge Free Challenge…Lord help me with this one.
Happy Monday!
30 Day Running Challenge: Day 30
Show us a sweaty post-run picture!
So this is a terrible picture of me, but it was right at the finish line of the Bayshore Half Marathon this past Memorial Day. I am in the green.
In better news, I had a great run today. My pace was quick (for me) and I just felt great! Which was shocking, seeing as I ate terribly today.
Happy running! I’m sad the 30 day challenge is over 😦
I love strength training! As much as I enjoy running, and could run for days, there is something so great about strength training and pushing your body to the limit in that way. I find that it is much easier to quantify my progress with strength training than with running.
I did some great back squats, lots of kettlebell work (turkish get-ups, overhead swings, etc.), single leg dead-lifts, stability ball knee tucks, pikes and body saws, just to name a few of the moves. And I FINALLY conquered the tallest plyo-box we have at the gym!
All in all, a great workout, AND I am down a pound a half. I will take it!
Do you like running with a buddy, in groups, or solo? Why?
I used to HATE running with people. I always found running to be very personal; a great time to reflect and be alone with your thoughts. I have found, though, that with training, I love having a running buddy, or at least someone to ride a bike along with me. I find it much harder to stop when there is someone with me.
On a side not: I FOUND MY IPOD LAST NIGHT!!! Victory for me!
Happy running! I can’t believe the 30 day running challenge is almost over 😦
motivated or turned on? Not sure…
