It's been a busy few months since I last posted, considering it's now OCTOBER! :)
I've been a runnin' machine, for one thing, and as I've learned more and more about successful, healthy running, I decided to add in some cross-training. So, I joined a gym. It offers great group classes, and I've gotten into three of them that I'm going to try to do regularly: Pilates class on Monday mornings (super stretching and core work!), Total Body Conditioning class (oh, the lunges, the squats, the push-ups!), and Sh'Bam! (a high-cardio, high-fun dance-ish class). I also thought that, as it gets colder and the sun rises later, a treadmill could be a useful tool to continue my training.
Which brings me to the Next Awesome Thing: a new goal!! I think in my last post I mentioned a goal of running a 10k. Well, pbthththth on that goal. I've done not one, but TWO 10k races so far, and another one planned for November! So my new goal: a half-marathon! I'd love to do the Princess Half at Walt Disney World, since I've never been there, but it's awfully expensive to get there. The hubby keeps trying to get it to work with our finances, so we'll see. The one I definitely plan on running is the Flying Pirate Half at the Outer Banks, NC. One of my besties will be flying out here with her family to run it with me, and I'm so excited!!!!
So, that's it for my running stuff...
slow and steady finishes the race, right?
