Everything is 'gym-tastic'!

Hey everyone!

It's been a bit...but honestly nothing has changed dramatically except for the fact that I'm running on a treadmill.

Again- I am running on a treadmill.

Ugh.

I really don't like treadmills...the fact that I'm truly NOT moving drives me INSANE!!

But I'm doing it.

Today was a dreaded nine mile run...which is not fun to think about when you're running outside but it DEFINITELY is not fun when you're in place. And you forgot your headphones. Erggh.  But I did it! Under two hours as well! Yay!

Which brings up the fact that my race is in just over a month. Ah! And I'm planning on dressing all the way up...the costume isn't done yet and I need to buy a wig but I'm excited for it! AAAHH! It's so close!!!

Before Run

After Run

Running on a treadmill has taught me that pacing is important; when I'm outside I can change my pace depending on the fellow runners, the weather conditions, my feeling etc.  When you're on the treadmill its just you and your head...and my head wanted to walk more today.  And that stinks but is also okay.  We're suppose to listen to our body and it's hard for me to do that...but I'm learning.

So, I'm going to sit and watch Netflix, research running make-up techniques, and planning Mike and I's wedding (which is in 7 months...yay!)

Your 'pin-spiration' for the week, appropriate no?

Until next time, keep running strong!

Princess Half Marathon- 30 Days!

2015 and things

Hey everyone!

So...it's been a while.  I mean...it's 2015 now.  Whoa.

So a quick update on what's been going with me.

I got to go home to Minnesota; which was delightful and a welcomed break from city life. I love the bustle of the city but the country is needed so I can recharge.  I hardly ran over that time which is probably a horrible idea since the race is SUPER CLOSE NOW. AHHH!

I have discovered that with the craziness that is my life I am unable to get in my long runs outside.  Which stinks.  But guess what doesn't? Gym memberships.  Yes dear friends, I know am a gym member and I get to fight people for the treadmills etc.  I have found though that if you can't get a treadmill, elipticals are fun and I just feel that a seven mile run is a seven mile run whether its on a treadmill or not.

So here's hoping that I don't die in February! I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures and I'm hoping that I'll start writing more. And that I'll get into better shape...when you're sore from carrying groceries you might need to lift more.

So that's the really boring catch up on me.  Life is busy-like always. 2015 is going to be super busy...but totally worth it :) And if you want to donate to my charity-donate here!
