  • Today...Rain..Rain..Rain

    Yeah it was raining for my run this morning but i didn't mind. I love running in the rain..feels great.
    My running in general is feeling a lot better. Losing down to 120 has really helped me and my time.
    I know i'll place first or second in my age group in my next run which is one of my faves. The Great Pumpkin 5k run on the 24th of October. Then i have the Turkey Trot in Charlotte on Thanksgiving. This is my all time fave race. I never place because it's such a large race but i love seeing everyone. I plan on buying a real cute running outfit for both races to celebrate my weight loss.
    Today's Workout was a 5 mile run and i'll do full body weights this afternoon.

    Wow..Talk about a long time away..lol
    Still doing good. Running/lifting..all that jazz.
    Well not running as much. I'm either in it 100% or i do intervals on the treadmill.
    For the last couple of weeks i have been doing ITrain cardio on my treadmill. Itrain is a great site. They have all kinds of great workouts that you can download. Just running on the treadmill can be soooo dull.These workouts have great music and instruct you on how fast to run..when to take the grade up or down..it makes it a little more intresting..
    Here is the site
    We had a fun 4th. Just sat outside and watched the neighbors who put on a great fireworks show every year. Hell beats spending my money on it...lol
    Well that's all from here
    See you next year...lol

About Me

  • Avid runner/Lifter Been running since 2002. I've run two half marathons and a ton of 5-10k's. I run about 30-40 miles a week. I also love weight lifting. It's hard to balance the two sometimes but i try..i usually lift full body 3 times a week. I'm 42 years old and i hate to say but i'm in the best shape of my life now. I wish i had been this into fitness when i was in my 20's..but it's never to late.
