You are Running a Marathon, Half Mary,10k or 5k? Does Your time Matter? Holy Smokes It Does!!!

Hey Readers,If you want to get right down to it, basically everything is inconsequential when you pull back far enough.  But my point is that if you don't run as fast as you want, it is not the end of the world. If you are looking for accolades, your friends in the know will still understand how someday race day is not your day and your friends not in the know think anyone running any distance ever is amazing. If you are running for self-gratification, then the fact you put yourself on the starting line should be enough, deep down, to give you a sense of accomplishment. If you are running for charity, or in someone's memory, or to have fun, who cares about your time?

The difference between running and racing is that when you toe the line of the race, you have made an unspoken agreement that you will run the fastest you can on that day. You an run easy and have fun and celebrate your existence the other six days of the week. Now you can argue with me but will you argue with the ghost of Steve Prefontaine (and his nipples?) I
In summary Readers, Time Matters, Yes It does!! Be the Best You can be in your investment of time in training!!

Monday Motivation and Workout "Get It Girl 4/21/14 You Can Do It Too!!

Hey Readers, Got a Few Updates and Workout Continue Plan for You, Last week I ended up taking 3days of rest do to I was just tired out. Rest from running and workout class. But Got Back on the stick Sunday evening with a 3 mile run. So for your motivation today and for the week, " Do you surround yourself with others that enjoy working out and running or some sort of fitness? or do you hang with people that do nothing? Well  to stay motivated one must know why you are taking care of your body on a weekly basis, Is it to be Healthy and Strong or endurance to support your family activities. A quick way to fall out of the workout and running is going through the motions of life, and not having a plan. Everyone has a plan to work and take care of your family which is your means of financial support but what about your health. I worked a job that took up all of my time to ware it was so hard to exercise, and it made me unhappy with the employment. It absorbed so much of my time me and my husband were passing ships. I was gaining weight did gain weight it was terrible and I was miserable. I never work somewhere that it controlled me. So once I left and created alternative business during my stay with that job I had more time to balance a better life. This is so important for moms and people everywhere. Make sure you are happy first, you can not get your time back, I believe exercise make you feel, look and naturally happy. Make a plan weekly for yourself. Even through I miss my a few days for rest I am back on the saddle. Even include your children this makes a healthy lifestyle for the whole family. Here is my Plan for the Week:
Monday: 4mile run outdoors( no weights today )
Tuesday: Cardio, Stairmaster, and Elliptical Machine: Hour of Power Full Body Weights
Wednesday: 5mile outdoor run and legs/abs/calves
Thursday: 3miles indoor treadmill, and Hour of Power Full Body Weights
Friday: 6mile outdoor run and upper body/arms( modify looking to do a new workout)
Saturday: Tenative Rest Day or Tot Trot for my Toddler
Sunday: 10K Biggest Loser Run
My minimum goal per week of miles 25-30 per week

As you can see I only have one rest day built in, for this week, sometimes depending on how I feel after Friday run, I may not do weight training but will let everyone know if that changes. I do see changes in my body, back area is small, and some of my shirts that are smalls are a pretty loose. My capris from last summer I put them on this weekend, and the hip area is loose, and the abdomen area is too. My goal is to burn off the old fat, and build lean muscle to show. Another is, I have a party to go to in May, for a fellow running mate, and I want a fabulous dress. At this time I am on the Sassy Water, still till Wednesday, so I will be able to talk about it in the next blog coming up. I am a mommy of a toddler and I hope that this inspires other moms that we can do fitness, and be fit. I am working on some trouble spots of cellulite on my lower thigh, Ugg!! and it is tough, so my goal is to smooth this out though weights doing quads with heavy weights. But if any one has any suggestions please send them to me!!!

First Half Marathon! Yes! Newbie Did It



Ronnita at my First Half Marathon



My Shirt, Medal Bling and Bib!!!

Okay, So I have been so excited since Sunday, March 23rd, in which I did my first Half Marathon. It is the Publix which is known to be the beast. Well it was so much fun, I did not sleep that night to well do to excitement. Me and  my wonderful Running mate Mary was so siked up. During the run I  did not have to use my music at all, me and my mate laugh the entire time and talk. The first six miles I  did intervals, as I did thorough out my training, boy, when I hit that 7 mile I opened up, it is like I feel like I'm just getting started. The volunteers were awesome cheering and yelling. I sort of waited to post this because it would bring me so much joy to share. As I started to reach the finish line and I could see it I started running evening faster to get my time as close as I wanted I made it at 2:56. I really was shooting for 2:45. but I am fine with that. Through this experience, I got a chance to find out a lot about myself and abilities mentally and physically. At the finish I felt some emotions well up, but I turned back around and not to consume myself but I turned around and shouted for my running mate to cross that line. I with running with my mate, she has inspired me a whole, lot, and we have just keep each other encouraged. She is a mom of four and truly a fighter in her own right. Still in Bliss what will be my next race in the running community? Will Post A update!!
