Skipped My Race Weekend

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, and honestly, that’s because I didn’t have much to post. I totally fell off the wagon with my training for the Clearwater Rock n Roll Half Marathon. So much so, that I decided not to run it. While the race had a four hour time limit, something I could…

Clearwater RnR Training: Weeks 3 & 4

Week three was a little more challenging because I was traveling. That impacted my training schedule, and unfortunately, I skipped a lot of workouts. I gave myself a break on Monday, which may have been a mistake because that lasted all week long. I didn’t go for a single run. I managed to get some…

Clearwater RnR Training: Week 2

I wanted to keep the momentum going coming off of the first week of training. Even though it’s ungodly hot in Florida right now, I didn’t want that to derail my great start. Monday: I was still sore from last week, so I decided an active recovery day was needed, and I did a short…

Clearwater RnR Training: Week 1

Let me start by saying, I will not be picking an October race again…training through the summer in Florida is going to be brutal! But, since I’m in this situation, I’m going to make the most of it, and that meant starting my training this week. Sunday: I hit the gym for a 30min run…

June Peloton Recap

I’ve been keeping my streak alive! June hasn’t been as active as the past months, but I’ve made sure to get at least one Peloton session in each week, starting with a 10min Sleep Meditation on June 3. That was followed up by a 5min Relaxing Mediation on June 7, a 5min Calming Meditation on…

Embracing Apple Fitness+

Last month Peloton announce a tiered app system, and if I stay at the price point I’m currently paying, I can only do three cardio equipment classes per month. There is no limit on the other classes like yoga, strength, meditation, etc. At first I was super annoyed. Part of the reason I have the…

May Peloton Recap

Seventeen weeks down, and more to go! I started the first week of May with a 20min Feel Good Ride to keep my streak alive and push it to 18 week. Now that my bedroom space has been cleaned up and reorganized, I have more space for my bike, so I’m hoping to use it…

May 2023 Running Recap

Surprisingly, the first week of May had some cooler mornings. They would have been perfect from running had I not already gotten on the bike…My only run the first week came from OrangeTheory. Once again, it was an endurance day, so it was great for training purposes. In the short time we were on the…

April 2023 Running Recap

When I reflected on my goals last month, I said I was going to I need to run at least once per week. Even with trying to commit to that, I didn’t record my first run of the month until April 11. I didn’t prepare for it. Normally, when I plan a morning run, I…

April Peloton Recap

As mentioned last month, I kept my streak alive by getting a stretch in on the first day of the month. I did a 10min Full Body Stretch with Robin, which was really nice. It was one of my favorite stretch classes so far. On April 3, keeping my streak alive in the new week,…

March Peloton Recap

The first week of March, I kept the streak alive with a 15 minute Focus Flow on Sun Salutations. The dog woke up early and I had tight muscles, so I figured that was a great way to kick off the morning. I hit the 10-week streak the second week of March. I did a…

I Value Being Healthy Because…

I value being healthy because I have more energy. I value being healthy because it gives me a positive outlook on life. I value being healthy because exercise releases endorphins and makes me happy. I was given this prompt as part of my Shapa daily missions. So often we think of being healthy as losing…
