Friday Five: Fitness Goals/Resolutions for 2015

January 1, 2015January 2, 2015 · 26 Comments ·

Happy New Year everyone! I am linking up with Eat Pray Run DC, You Signed Up for What?! and Mar on the Run for the Friday Five Linkup. Every Friday they have a linkup for bloggers to Link up a post about five things or write on their theme. This week’s theme is Fitness Goals/Resolutions. Here are my five goals/resolutions for 2015:

1. Run and finish a marathon. I will sign up soon and hope to run my first marathon, the Portland Marathon in October. I will no longer be half crazy but full crazy lol. I just want to finish a marathon.

2. I want to cook more and change it up with new recipes. I want to cut down on eating out and overall eat more healthy.

3. I want to run more miles than I did in 2014. According to Smashrun, I ran 712 miles. It’s a huge difference from 2013, with just 254 miles. I want to get at least 800 miles this year.

4. I want to PR in any of my races in 2015.

5. Lastly, I want to continue to cross train. I did three Beachbody programs that helped my running last year. I recently got Insanity Max:30 and want to finish the 60 day program.

What are your goals for 2015?

Last Week’s Workouts Recap (12/22-12/28)

December 28, 2014 · 6 Comments ·

This past week started off great! It was Christmas vacation time and we travelled up to my parent’s place to spend the Holidays. It was nice because I got to workout and run with my sister from New Jersey who also came for the Holidays. I continued with the Runner’s World Run Streak but felt sick the last couple of days. Here’s how my week went:

Monday – Ran a mile with my sis for day 26 of the #RWRunStreak and then we all tried Insanity Max:30 Cardio for the first time. That was fun! I maxed out at 16:27.

Tuesday – I had a nice three mile run with my sis. It’s nice to have someone run with you. Not just for the awesome company but because they can take your pic while running. 🙂
Wednesday – Had a great Christmas Eve run, and ran five miles!

Thursday – I continued the streak and ran a mile on Christmas with my sis.

Friday – I just ran a mile to continue the streak.

Saturday – I woke up with a headache and ran a mile again to continue the streak.

Sunday, I felt a bit worse but wanted to try to run five miles. I was breathing heavily after the first mile and decided that was not going to happen so I decided to do three miles. I’m hoping whatever I have is gone soon. I’m coughing and still have a little headache. Something is going around because my husband and son had fevers as well as one of my sister’s kids. My temp was a little elevated but luckily not that hot. Hopefully everyone feels better tomorrow. I’m almost done with the run streak. Day 32 of 36 day done!

How’d your week go? Hope you have a great week ahead and a happy 2015!!

Last Week’s Workouts Recap (12/15-12/21)

December 22, 2014December 23, 2014 · 2 Comments ·

This was a good week! I finished Insanity the Asylum, Volume 1. The 29 days of Asylum were tough but I’m proud to say that I finished the program. I only did 29 out of the 30 because I bypassed the Fit Test. I should have done the Fit Test in the beginning to see the improvement over the course of the program, but I jumped right into the workouts from the start. I feel stronger and had so many great sweat sessions. My back feels stronger and I can actually see some muscle on my back. I did not follow the nutrition plan so my results could have been better. I am also continuing with the Runners World Run Streak.

Here’s what my schedule looked like:

Monday – I ran 5.41 miles for day 19 of the #RWRunStreak and then did day 28 of Insanity the Asylum – Relief.

Tuesday – Ran a mile for day 20 of the ‪#‎RWRunStreak‬ and then did the last workout on the Insanity the Asylum schedule. Woohoo!! I finished the program! It was tough and I’m glad to say that I completed it!

Wednesday – I ran one mile on the treadmill. I also couldn’t wait and decided to try Insanity Max: 30. I did Tabata Power. Oh my! It’s tough, but a great workout. I maxed out at 9:46, which is when I had to take a break. There is a modifier the entire workout so don’t be afraid to try it. As Shaun T says, “Your power comes from within.” Let me know if you’re interested in doing this program with me.

Thursday – I had a nice five mile run. /home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/77e/68168024/files/2014/12/img_1273.jpg Friday – I got my mile in for day 23 of the #RWRunStreak.

Saturday – I didn’t feel like doing anything but kept the #RWRunStreak alive. Ran a mile on the treadmill again for day 24.

Sunday – I ran two miles.

How’d your week go? I’m excited for Christmas. Happy Holidays!!

Shaun T’s INSANITY MAX:30 coming in December

September 24, 2014September 24, 2014 · 3 Comments ·

I’m excited for Shaun T’s next program coming out in December called INSANITY MAX:30. This one looks intense! I did Insanity a while ago and loved it! It was a great way to get back in shape after my first kiddo. One of the reason’s I haven’t got back to Insanity was because of how much longer the workouts are compared to like Focus T25 or P90X3. Many of the workouts were close to an hour long. Now Insanity is back and workouts in Max:30 are only 30 mins. I love that!

Shaun T has developed 150 new cardio and strength moves that will make you push harder and dig deeper than ever before to get the best body of your life in just 60 days. You’ll get killer cardio and tabata strength workouts. There’s no equipment needed and a modifier in every workout so anyone can push to their MAX. It’s not about “getting through” all 30 minutes, it’s about going as hard as possible, for as long as possible, until becoming “MAXED OUT” (i.e. until taking the first rest and/or breaking proper form).

I can’t wait to try this program. It will be coming out in the middle of December.
