Still slowly getting back to waking up on time to get my workout in, but for some reason I woke up around 230am feeling very hot wasn't able to get back to sleep right away but had no problem getting up when it was time too, although for some unforeseen reason reason decided to arrange my closet, go figure.

So after dragging myself out of my closet, went over to the basement to get the workouts of the day in, body feel fine no aches and pain.

Cathe Ripped with Hiit Upper Body, did it all the way to the stretch then pause and went to get 6 miles of easy run in watching Cast Away with Tom Hanks, after the run back to Cathe for the stretch.

I still have no idea what to do about the long run tomorrow trails, road and paths are messy due to the rain and snow from last night and this morning, also have a 930am mammogram appointment and Sunday doesn't look any better with a storm rolling in.


Signing up for Hall of Fame Half Marathon feels like this will be great to do after Paris before Flying Pig just to keep going also lots of friends are doing it and Rock and Roll New Orleans 2016 since that is only $50 and I get to know off another state

Wrapping up 2014, Surging to 2015

This has been a challenging year, starting with the death of my mother on New Years Day, that pretty much stop me in my tracks since it was so sudden and unexpected. I fought hard to overcome the depression that was slowly engulfing me and pulled my self back together after the funeral.

Not many races in 2014 since my fitness was basically none existence, so I spent most of the year trying to get back to where I was in 2013, racing highlight was running the Chicago Marathon and I have to say I was very happy with my pacing and finish time, this really gave me a boast knowing that I was coming back.

Running with Patty and Shelby has been a blessing since it has kept me consistence, and more outdoor.

Main goal for 2015 is to stay healthy while challenging myself and getting outside my comfort zone by trying new things. Races planned so far

Little Rock Marathon
Paris Marathon
Cincinnati Flying Pig 4 ways (5k 10k and Marathon)
Detroit Marathon

I will like to add in some shorter races so as to coming to use them to build speed and also to keep going towards that goal of a 25mins 5k.

Strength workout is important to me so planning on using Cathe and Kelly Coffer Meyer for that and to keep up with the yoga.

Weight is still an issue, still about 10# above my racing weight so that is something that needs to be worked on also.

Cycle more and get back in the pool conquer the deep end.

I know 2015 is going to be a great year :)
