Running, Running…

I keep hearing that refrain from the Black Eyed Peas every time I get ready to run. Is there a song that gets you pumped for a run? I think it’s time for me to revamp my playlist, but I digress. A little over 6 years ago, I was a […]

Another month, another weigh in. I thought for sure I would’ve lost more by now. In fact, I was feeling rather discouraged until I talked to The Hubs and he pointed out that I’ve managed to maintain the weight loss, something that a lot of people have a hard time […]

#SweatPink Fitness Friday Wrap~Up

Bible Verse 1 Corinthians 9:26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like the boxer beating the air. Everything in life requires some sort of planning. Athletes don’t just get out there and play ball or run a race, they practice, they learn skills […]

Last week I challenged myself to a seven day running streak. I wanted to push myself beyond what I thought myself capable of doing. I know that I’m getting stronger. I see it when I look at my legs. I feel it when I walk up a hill. And I hear it through […]
