running

Yeah, November!

I am happy to report that I am 100% on November workouts so far.

Nevermind that it is only the 2nd… 100% is 100%, and I have all of my workouts scheduled for the entire month.  I just need to work my runs in there and still pick my next race (other than the Turkey Trot 5k).

Hope everyone is having a great Friday, and happy November!

P.s. I think I managed only 1 goal in October, and that was to not weigh in… high five

Such a great day!

Had an amazing, ass-kicking workout at 6 this morning, a great day at work, and a 2 mile run this evening.  

I feel great!

I have scheduled my strength training class for tomorrow night after work, and I will just keep it rolling like this 🙂

After a month off, it felt really great to be back in the gym…in that shitty, “I’m dying” type of way.

Hope everyone had a great Monday!

You can do it!

Day 3… not doing great

Well, I actually am doing great, BUT as far as me making October super healthy, so far it hasn’t gone so great.  Today mostly.  

But it’s all good.  I am not freaking out or feeling terrible about myself.  Life has just been so hectic lately, I am still waiting to get into a routine with the new job, but it will come 🙂

If anyone is on Myfitnesspal.com, my name is sweep1132, friend me for some motivation/accountability!

Enjoy the debate tonight, or whatever trouble you kids are getting into!

And ya know what?  I just decided… I am getting up before work tomorrow morning and running for you guys… because I need to start that habit again.

You all may not know it, but you inspire me 🙂

Super :)

Me… in the morning.

Just had a decent run.  It got hot fast, even though when I started it was a perfect 66 degrees.  I set out to do 7 and starting walking around 5.  

Paul was riding his bike with me and as we going through campus, I noticed people walking in the Red Cedar.  Having been here 10 years and never doing that, I decided we had to stop. 

But after that, I was just really enjoying walking and talking with him, so I ended up walking until we got home.

So the bigger news:  I accepted a new position with the Michigan Association of Counties as their Communications Coordinator.  It is a very exciting opportunity for me and I am so honored that I was chosen for the position.  It will be a lot of work, and I am so nervous about it, but things that are worth it are a little scary, right?

I am so sad to be leaving my job at State of Fitness.  I love being a professional part of the fitness community and impacting peoples’ lives the way that SoF does.  I will still be training there (as in working out there) and am still studying for my personal training certificate, but it will just be a change.  They are such a great group of people who genuinely care about their members and they have changed my life in ways they will never understand.

But, here is to a new adventure!  Wish me luck!

Spent the weekend up north, camping one night and attending a wedding the second night. 

It was so much fun, even though I didn’t do any traditional workouts and ate TERRIBLY!  But we walked everywhere, did a lot of running around on the beach, swam, climbed dunes, etc., so I can’t feel too bad 🙂

Now it is back to the grind and back on track with my runs/workouts.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
