The Long and Short of Zombies, Run! Spring 2016 Virtual Race

Dana 4/08/2016 0 Comments

I am not really into zombies...says the girl who loves the film "Warm Bodies" and the TV show "iZombie" and only runs because there are undead around. I have less than no interest in "The Walking Dead" and most other zombie related things, though, so that makes my initial claim legit, right? Dubious. I'm selectively into zombies? I'm digressing, more about the running.

For those who are unfamiliar, there is a really fantastic app called "Zombies, Run!". It is the only thing that has kept me on any kind of fitness regimen, which it has done extraordinarily well. I tried different things for about two years before finding ZR.

The Belated Monday Report - Week 1 Spring Training

Heather 1/19/2016 0 Comments

I wrote this post yesterday, and didn't get the pictures edited until today. Oops.

Happy Monday everyone!

Did everyone have a great week/end? Everyone is home on this MLK Jr. Day, so I'm hoping to get my run in, but it may not happen.

With everyone home, and the basement getting put back to rights today, there's just a lot to do. However, all is not lost. While I've been working away in the basement, I've been incorporating core and strength exercises into the work.

Oh you want to paint that spot a little lower? SQUAT! Keep that core engaged. You want to move over to that spot over there, but you're sitting on the floor? Core engaged and haul yourself up, because you don't want to get paint everywhere. You're still holding the paintbrush and the paint cup.

Basic moves like that. I'll tell you I can feel where I've worked. That and painting for as long as I have been, will do a number on your anyways.

So without digressing much further here's the rundown for last week.

The Monday Report - Not much to report

Heather 1/11/2016 0 Comments

I would love to tell you guys that I had a stellar week, and in some respects I did.

I improved my eating, and started tracking stuff towards the end of the week. I feel really good about that.

I only "worked out" once. I went to spin on Tuesday, and it was a fabulous class.

Then the house got the rest of my attention. Christmas got fully put away, and we started on a huge project in the basement.

So while last week could've been better in the exercise department, I feel good about the week as whole, mostly because of getting my diet back under control, and even if I didn't do dedicated workouts, I was still active and moving.

This week starts Spring Training, and I'm totally counting our hauling of wood and cabinets as cross training on Sunday. Oh and there were many, many, MANY trips up and down our basement stairs.

Well I need to get my butt to the gym, so I can get in my run. See you guys later!
