Running, Body rock & #plankaday

Well I have been a pretty excercised lady! Tuesday I ran a good 2.8 miles. Not as long as my usual... but it was some super hills and I was overdressed so I just got too darn hot which didn't help matters. I did my #plankaday and did really well. It wasn't easy- I shaking, it burned and it hurt SO bad. But I stuck it out. Moving forward, not going any less than the day before. That's my story and I'm stickin to it :)


Day #3 plankaday 

Wednesday I had debated working out BEFORE work because I knew I had plans when I got off at 7am.... sadly, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Seriously. I think if I had planned to run, I would have been fine. I knew what workout I was going to tackle and just didn't have it in me to do it first thing in the morning. Have no fear.. I still did it after my shift at work and coffee with a dear friend.

This is the rockin bodyrock video I did tonight.. wow. I did it twice and  called it a day. I wrote down my counts for each excercise but missed 2 the first time.. I think it was the starjacks and one of the leg lunge twists but either way here are the numbers.. 
Round #1: 22,38,25,28,17,25. Round#2: 21,40, 28,33,28,20,28,27
Not too shabby for the first time. I will do it again and be better about counting ALL excercies.


And here is my #plankaday, day #4. Not as a big of a jump, but man it was hard!! Maybe I can hit 4 minutes by the end of the week? Challenge accepted.. WOOPWOOP!

Thursday has been claimed as treadmill thursdays.... I am on a mission to get my speed back up to where it was this fall at my last 5k. This is a personal thing, but also in prep for an event I am pretty excited to participate in... more on that later.

Hope you all have a great day!

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...
