Managed to squeeze in about 4.5 miles this morning before the sun even came up. My favorite part about biking in the rural area behind my home is the nature I encounter along the way. There are a number of horse farms and it’s close to a river – so animals are abundant. This morning,…
There are woods near my home that I’ve often wanted to explore. But I’m scared. I’ve done off-road trails often up north. But something about Florida scares me. Things like snakes, gators, bears, rednecks – all leave me with the thought that I will be murdered. But today, I made the first attempt at squashing…
Things have been pretty crazy this summer. Work has been non-stop – literally!! Between work, vacation and finding kid activities, exercise has taken a back seat. But is appears the work load should be lightened a bit, so it’s time to get back into a routine. I did something new this week, morning biking. I…
I feel like I’m just falling apart. I’ve been working out quite a lot lately. Doing my training runs, going on extra walks, doing some weights and generally, just trying to be healthier. But it appears the more I do, the worse my body reacts. I’ve had this problem with my left ankle for a…
and today I did both. Maybe I don’t HATE running. Hate is such a strong word. Dislike. Disdain. Detest. Well, hate works. I’m still doing the “couch to 5K” training program. This week’s training kicks it up a notch, and had me running for 5 minutes straight. I’m not lying when I say, I don’t…
My bed was way too comfortable this morning to get to the gym. And to think, daylight saving time kicks in this weekend, so next week is going to be a tough one! I didn’t make it to the gym this morning, but I managed to get there after work. What a way to spend…
Day 2 of “official 5K training” is done. It was one of those days that I wasn’t sure would work with exercise! I worked late last night, early this morning and wanted to sleep instead of wake up early to go to the gym. I brought my exercise gear to work thinking I would get…
FACT: I can hold my breath for longer than I can run. I’ve signed up for a 5K in the middle of April. Hopefully it’s the motivation I need to really get healthy. Here’s the ugly truth…I’ve never ran a mile in life. I’ve always had asthma – since the day I was born. Growing…
I’m tired of my Wii Fit calling me “obese.” It’s time I stop using the excuse, “I just had a baby.” (especially since he turned three in February!!) My name is Jen and I’m on a mission to lose weight. Pounds don’t matter so much as clothes size. I have way to many cute size…
