Cardio Cliff workout

I dont really like the treadmill... I have said this before, and I have  no shame in saying it again. Seriously. But there is only so much PA cold and (scattered) snow this girl can take this year. Plus, I am trying to be a better.... athlete? Not sure I am comfortable using that word to describe myself even though I have been running regularly for a year and a half now. I never even considered it until the other day at work I overhead a girl on the other side of one of three cubbie walls talking about a burger. I jokingly asked her where mine was and she joked back saying she asked if they had one for me, but that they didn't because she didn't want to influence me "being an athlete and all." So weird to hear that.

Anyway, I wanted to share this really awesome stinkin workout I did last night on the treadmill. Yes, I did use the word awesome and treadmill in the same sentence. Another weird thing. So before I show you the picture, I'd really like to preface that I did not feel like the original version was LONG enough due to the fact this workout is 20 minutes and I usually run 3 miles and it is closer to 30 minutes. In order to do that I increased the time of each part of the excercise.

Like how I did 4 minutes at 7MPH?? I wasn't sure that I could do it, but knew I had to and that I could at about 2 minutes. YOU GOT THIS! 

What could you do, if you stopped telling yourself you can't??

    I agree that using the words awesome and treadmill in the same sentence is unusual! Lol! But great job! What part of PA? I live in Texas now, but I'm from Pittsburgh.

    So glad you tried this workout and made it your own! I usually do longer workouts too, but sometimes I hit the snooze button too many times and 20 minutes is all I have. :-)

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
