I got into fitness a little over 13 years ago, at first I just wanted to lose 20-25 lbs so I began strength training & then quickly followed it with running. Shortly after, I started running & since then I've ran hundreds of 5k's, 10k's, 15k's, 13.1 and 26.2 mile races and still maintain my strength training. My hope is to help others discover a love for fitness, finding a lifetime commitment to a healthy lifestyle they can grow with.

Last Night's 3 Mile Run with Team 13
I was too wore out to blog last night, our heat wave finally ended Monday but it was 95 at 6 p.m when we ran, I didn't know that and probably wouldn't have gone if I did lol. Shauna and I kept it around 12 minutes per mile, last year that would have been a slow jog for me, but it sure felt like heck now. I mainly figure it was because the heat and me not adapting to the heat, AND instead of running this weekend I did my squats, lunges and squats with a kettlebell press, more than my usual and my legs are just now beginning to recover from that so last night's run had my legs feeling pretty heavy. I am glad the heat wave is over, but I kind of miss running in the mornings, but right now Dorian is waking up at 6:30 a.m and I just don't have the energy to get up at 4 a.m after going to bed at midnight or later so as long as temps are below 95 and the humidity is lower than 40% I am going to run with Team 13 in the evenings. Saturday morning's runs might be a different story, who knows yet. We're going to be doing 3 miles Thursday, Saturday, next Tuesday and next Thursday then up our long run to 4 miles and so on. Eighty-seven days until the Half Marathon, I really hope the temps start cooling off, or at least more cloud coverage lol.
