How is everyone feeling? I have been contemplating this post for awhile.. actually for 6 months. You see in July 2014 I decided it was time to get healthy.. I know, I Know, I have said this many times before like HERE and HERE. The difference this time is I have actually kept up with it. Shocking right?
I want to share this journey with all of you because quite honestly it is tough and I think we all need a team of cheerleaders to help us when the couch and crap food start to win us over.
Right now I am in my 5th week of 10km training. I signed up for The Running Room's
10km Program. I know a lot of people enjoy the freedom of training on their own with such apps as Couch to 5km but I have learned that I am one of those people that needs to be in a class or group in order to push myself and strengthen my abilities. The program calls for 4 runs a week 3 of them are offered at the store plus you receive weekly talks on a variety of running subjects. Which is fabulous! This past Wednesday was our first day of hill training ...sadly I missed it but don't worry about me folks tonight will be another on-slot of HILLS!!( cannot wait for this evening's hills said NO-ONE)
This week's training for week 5: Wednesday 3X400m Hill =2.5km, Thursday Steady run for 6km, Friday Steady run for 5km and Sunday Long Slow run for 10Km
I am also hiking the Coquitlam Crunch at least once a week. I was doing it on Saturday's with my lovely "Crayola Crunchers" but because of school...... Yes I said SCHOOL (I will explain later) I am unable to join them now.
But as fate would have it, I have been invited to join another FABULOUS group of ladies to hike it Monday evenings. It really is impressive how the universe works at times!!
And next up a group of us have started a series of circuit training that we found through an Instagram account: Kayla Itsines! Have you seen this girls IG feed? It is incredible. So incredible that we ordered her EBOOK. Everyone started it last week and regrettably I can not muster the motivation to start it yet. The sad thing is it only takes 28 mins to do.... But they are a sweaty crazy tough 28 mins.
I really want to start this but I keep finding better things to do or I push it off the To Do list because I ran that day or hiked.
I really need to just do it!! So I am asking all of you to be my cheerleaders and help me get over this MOTIVATIONAL HUMP! I will be there for you as well!! All you need to do is ask and I will make sure to check in with you and see how you are doing. Ok So That is it for now. I will keep you posted on the hills tonight and my KM mileage and times. I am hoping to start the circuit training tomorrow .... I will make sure to share and if I don;t can someone please check in with me and remind me that it is ONLY 28 mins and that I will look and feel FANTABULOUS!!
Wishing you a Wonderful Wednesday LOVES!
XOXO
