In 2012, I ran my first 5K! Super cold and really hilly especially for a Florida girl like me but I’m proud I went through with it :) I definitely want to run a few more this year.
What are some of your fitness goals for the new year? I’d love to hear!

Check out this awesome running blog!

Hey guys!

Sorry I’m really not super active on this anymore BUUUUT my mom has a wonderful running blog and it’s her birthday on Monday so I’m trying to get her up to 1,000 followers :) Check it out and follow it if you’d like - I’d really appreciate it and hope you all get something from it!

This was over Spring Break! There’s nothing like running/finishing a run on the beach while the sun is rising :)

Ran 2.4 miles straight right after my midterm and right before my next class :) Now time for more class!

AHHH I RAN 2.33 MILES STRAIGHT!

I’m sooooo happy! Haha, I took my coworker’s advice and decided not to focus on perfecting my 1 mile time and working on my endurance so I studied while on the treadmill (so the papers blocked my mileage) and ran for 30 mins straight :) That’s a 13:20 pace which isn’t awesome but as soon as I build up my mileage, I’ll start working more on my pace. Baby steps!

OHOH TMI probably but I have my unwanted monthly visitor so I really didn’t even want to go for a WALK since being in fetal position all day eating chocolate sounds so much better but I’m glad I got up & did something productive :)

AHH PROGRESS!

This time last week I ran my first official mile straight (woo!) in 13:54 & I just finished running my first mile today in 10:57 :) short homework break and off to do another couple miles!

My mantra for the week :) I may not be the fastest or the slowest but I feel stronger every day and that’s more than I could ever ask!

My mom (gothedistance69) is the cutest! She bought us both matching running shoes but she was really attached to her old ones because she ran her first mile in them so she took the laces from her old ones and put them on her new ones :)

I’ve had a few friends ask me why I wear my more worn down shoes to run when I have some nicer looking ones. Colors and styles may look nice but function > fashion ANY day ESPECIALLY when working out! My black ones are pretty beat up but I can run longer and more comfortably in them than I ever could with my new ones. Picking out running shoes is all about practicality, not pretty colors! The only reason I bought those shoes on the left is because they were 20 bucks at Marshalls but sometimes it’s better to save money a little longer and invest in a really good pair of shoes than end up buying a pair you’ll barely use.
