I love to run.
I feel like it's a drug and I can't wait to get my next fix.
Sprinting up hills makes my day ;)
I'd like to think I'm tough as nails, but don't we all?
Right now I'm on a marathon kick, I'm always looking for some kind of race. Recently I've gotten into triathlons, that's what I'll be chasing next.
Chrissie Wellington and Kara Goucher are my heroes <3
After a year of injuries in 2011 and finally recovering, I decided to take the leap and become a Personal Trainer. There's nothing more important to me than fitness and health. I would love nothing more than to achieve my goals and help others reach their maximum potential and achieve theirs as well.
My ultamite goal is to do an Ironman.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Make it for February, my January is already packed tight thanks to facebook lol.
Before I run off to the gym for the next 3 or 4 hours of my life I must say something.
Life is not about being thin.
Life is not about a thigh gap.
Life is not about that stupid number on a scale.
I can’t tell you how fed up I get with people who are obsessed with numbers and being skinny!
You should want to be healthy and fit. You should eat right and get lots of exercise. Go fall in love with a sport. Go do something you said you could never do, prove yourself wrong!
My own mom always says “There’s no such thing as too skinny.” She barely (if at all eats) in an attempt to lose weight. Guess what, she doesn’t. Her body holds onto every ounce it can.
You say you don’t have time, go make time! Your 2 or 3 hours of video games or tv can wait. Remember, there is always someone busier than you finding a way to work out. Create a healthy balance in your life and you won’t be sorry.
Most importantly, respect your body.
You only get one in this life.
Why destroy it?
On that note I’m going on a 10 mile run then to my weight lifting class.
Reblog if you’re training for a marathon or triathlon!
I want to follow you guys!
FINALLY!!!!
My toe nail is FINALLY growing in normal. I’ve been missing a toe nail for 1+ month now. It turned black thanks to running, then fell off. It’s been growing in horribly slow and weird so I’ve been clipping it. It’s starting to grow in normal now. This pleases me! I’ve been dying to paint my toe nails!
I just saw the course for the Colfax Marathon in May. I’m so ready for domination!!!
Tomorrow should be a brutal gym day.
I have an hour long weight training class. You do 75+ bench presses, 125+ squats, plus all kinds of other shit. On top of that I’m doing some sprint intervals:
30 seconds at 6.0 x4 reps
30 seconds at 6.5 x4 reps
30 seconds at 7.0 x4 reps
30 seconds at 7.5 x4 reps
30 seconds at 8.0 x4 reps
30 seconds at 8.5 x4 reps
30 seconds at 9.0 x4 reps
30 seconds at 9.5 x4 reps
30 seconds at 10.0 x4 reps
And then I’ll end with some jump rope:
x100 jumps
x200 jumps
x300 jumps
x400 jumps
Sleeping in on a Sunday isn’t happening for me.
BRING ON THE TORTURE! :D
Happy National hug a runner day :D! Now get to hugging!!!!
