Today kicked

Literally!
I did 20 min cardio with Turbo Jam,
Then did the 40 min Turbo Sculpt
Boy I felt awesome all day!!

I really want to become a faster runner.
I start next week trying to improve.
Researching the different ways will be cool.
I don't need to be speedy gonzalez,
Just faster than my pace now.

Signing out.

Week in review

I've lost my mojo.

You know, the exercise mojo.

It's awesome when you're on it and it's easy to get out

that door to do the work you want to do.

I'm happy to say I have been giving myself mental pump-ups

to keep the mojo going.

I have been able to only work out 3 times this week.

But hey, I was able to work out 3 times this week!

The re-did the sidewalk for my usual run and

how dorky is it that I can't wait for the run today

to experience the new sidewalk!

To next week... I wish myself and anyone exercise mojo happiness!

Review of last week

Last week went pretty well.

I shot for working out 6 days,

and I worked out for 4 of them.

I clocked 12 miles total for the week

and feel good about what I did.

Well to be honest I wasn't feeling good about what I did.

But I am working on being proud of the times

I do get a work out in,

and also being ok with the times I relax and have down time.

Exercise to me is a joy and something I look forward to.

I never want to do it if I hate it.

Like today,

I was feeling sick and had a headache.

I usually don't force myself to workout,

but I am glad I did today.

My mood improved, I feel better,

and now I don't have to feel guilty about

the ice cream I had for a late night snack!

The training begins

This weekend I signed up for the SLC half marathon.

It will be my third time running this race,

and I am excited for this one because I am running with my eldest brother.

The training officially begins this week.

I am so glad to be in a training program again.

As much as sometimes it is hard to stick to a schedule of exercise,

I crave the consistency.

Today I completed my 4 miles.

It felt good and I stayed within my usual time frame

I am not shooting for a personal record this race,

since my only goal is to run and finish this race with my brother.

But my goal leading up to this race is to condition myself better.

I want to become faster and stronger

and I hope that I can be diligent in doing so.

2011 is going to be one awesome running year!
