Arms in 2012 while “just a runner” and last week, 3 weeks into weight training.
I have lost 1” in my bicep in the past year.
First Training Day!
Using the Gym Hero app to track my weights.
Also started with a 1 mile incline walk - 15 min. mile pace.
Savage Race 2013 - Training Begins
I have not registered for the Savage Race yet. I am upping my training to the point it will have to be at from now till the race in October and I am registering in July. I want to see how my body handles the increase.
Savage Race 2013 - Anyone have advice?
I am strongly considering the Fall 2013 Savage Race in Florida. I will want to make my decision by the end of the Early Bird registration period on July 11th. If anyone has run one or run a similar one before and wouldn’t mind chatting some please send me an ask or just reply to this photo.
My main concerns are my current fitness level and time to prepare. I am overweight but active. I have run numerous races over the past 3 years, 2 of them half marathon. Currently taking weight training classes and adding that to my routine. My cardio health and endurance are good. My muscle strength is so-so.
Weights class tonight! Super psyched!
(super not. trying to trick myself. I know I will go regardless.)

This morning was my second morning going to the gym before work. yesterday I did a .3 mile warmup on the elliptical and then a 2 mile hills run on the treadmill. This morning I did the 2 mile hills run again and then used weights for 15 minutes or so.
I also signed up for a weights class starting next Tuesday. It will be 8 - 1 hour sessions, 2 times a week. The course “teaches proper form and fundamentals while providing an excellent workout.” I am really psyched about it and will also start incorporating swimming for my cross training on the same nights as the weights class. It seems like it would be the perfect cool down from the weights.

Tax season is over & I took a 3 day weekend to eat all the foods. Getting back on track and will be posting about my own running again soon. Not that any of you care, but you know, I care.
Let’s start with some full disclosure. Low weight prior to tax season was 182, as of Sunday I was at 189. So, not too bad for a full tax season of treating my body awful and only running twice. That’s where I am working from so let’s get healthy!

This might be something I have posted before. Of all of the things to accidentally duplicate post this is one of the saddest.

I bought one of these 2 years ago at a fitness expo held before one of the Women’s Running Series races. I absolutely love it. It is still in as good a shape as when I bought it and there is no simpler way I have found to carry phone, ID, inhaler (can fit in the gel bands), etc. while running.
They have more products than the standard waist belt so check them out. They also have plus size belts that fit up to 75” which I know would have been awesome of me when I first started and everything was uncomfortable.
