WDW Half Marathon Training: Weeks 8 & 9

These past two weeks have flown by, but they were not the best for running due to my travel schedule. During week seven I got two runs in on Tuesday and Wednesday before I left for Las Vegas. Tuesday I ran 2.36 miles at a 12:36 average pace. On Wednesday I ran 2.18 miles at…

WDW Half Marathon Training: Week 7 Recap

This week was about getting back on track after last week didn’t go so well. I started off the week with a yoga class that included a lot of hip opener stretches, which were painful bliss and needed. I’m not sure how opened they remained though because Tuesday I went out for me first run…

WDW Half Training: Week 4

Coming off of week three, I was still feeling motivated. I kicked off week four with a Monday morning run, which is super rare for me. It is extremely hard for me to get up before 7am on a Monday, but based on my schedule for the week, a Monday run made the most sense…

5 Ways to Stick to a Workout Plan

We’ve all been there. We find a new workout to try, we do it for a bit, and then we drift in to our old habits. A few months back I wrote about how difficult it was for me to stick with a routine. Over the past few months I’ve been extremely good about staying…

WDW Half Marathon Training: Weeks 1 & 2 Recap

I’ve made it through the first two weeks of my training program for the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. Last week I recaped my first run, but here’s how the rest of my training has gone to this point. The second run of week one was a bit harder than the first. The humidity was…

WDW Half…Here I Come

Despite facing 95% humidity, I actually ran 2.51 miles, which resulted in a 12:06 average pace. For the first training run, I’ll call that a success. Since I…

August Fitness Calendar

Earlier this year I had started working on a fitness calendar again to keep myself on track. I fell off the bandwagon a bit, but ever since I got my Apple Watch I’ve been so much better about getting my workout in. So now, here’s my workout plan for the upcoming month. Let’s rock this!

Returning to Zumba Convention

Last week registration for Zumba Convention 2018 opened, and I eagerly signed up after missing it last year. Due to a hectic work schedule, I couldn’t find the time to escape and participate in four days of dance and workshops. This year, I plan to go back and I’m so excited. I rushed to sign…

February Calendar

I can’t believe it’s already February. I have no idea where the month of January went! This post is coming a little later than I would like mainly because I was in New York City last week for work. Nevertheless, here is my planned workout calendar for the month of February. I will say that…

2017 Fitness Accomplishments

This year has been a bit lacking in how much activity I’ve done, but there were still some great moments this year. 1. The Dark Side Challenge + the 5K: This year I did my biggest endurance challenge to date. I ran the Dark Side Challenge and 5K during the Star Wars race weekend at…

Where in the World?

For those of you that have been following my blog, you’ve probably been wondering where in the world I’ve been…no posts since April?! Well I don’t think I ever shared this, but I was promoted at my day job at the beginning of the year and in April we entered our busy season, which caused…

If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, then you know I’ve talked about planning my workouts and majority of the time, if I don’t do it in the morning, I don’t do it at all. Well, last week I did something different. I went to OrangeTheory on my lunch break, and it was awesome….
