How To Find A Fitness Friend

If you need staying accountable with your workouts, perhaps you need to find a fitness friend. I’m a strong believer in workout accountability partners.  While I realize there are people who can keep themselves accountable everyone isn’t able.  We know the cycle.  People start a new year with all types of resoluti...

Friday Five: Off To The Races

Hi everybody.  Checking in with my Five Friday topic "Off To The Races" which fits right in with my half marathon update.  Last time I checked in I let you all know I had not done a hill of beans of training.  That was for a few reasons including a bum knee and horrible Maryland weather with record amounts of snowfall.  With all of that ...

New God Flow and Week In Review – 10/14 – 10/19

My workouts have only included running in the past few weeks since I discontinued going to my personal trainer for a few weeks.  I just could not swing the cost ($80 a week for 2, 30-minute sessions).  I would like to be able to keep that up but honestly - as long as I have been a loyal client, I was not seeing a price break any time soon.  BUT ...

What Are You Training For?

I was out today on a wonderful run with my pavement warrior sister.  I picked her up early (6:30 am) and we were hitting the trails by 7:00 am on the dot.  I run ahead and hit mile marker 4 and on my way back I pass her, show her the 4 sign and stop and wait for her about .75 miles back to mile marker 3.  A woman drives up in a truck, gets ...

Femme Fitale Fit Club Fall Fifty Challenge

Hey everybody!!!!  Long time no hear - Ha!  On top of the September health and wellness challenges for the month, we also set up an additional challenge to walk/jog/wog/run 50 miles this month.  That is less than 2 miles a day! I set a pretty aggressive goal for myself in August to complete 100 miles and failed miserably.  I thought it ...

Burn Your Fat With Intervals – Thursday Run

I am starting a new series to give you a workout or information pertaining to running.  Keep me honest if I fall off.  As you can imagine - regular life can be hectic but since running is a significant part of my workout routine - makes sense I dedicate a segment of this blog on the subject where YOU the reader can expect regular content.  So ...

Fun Run

Never in a million years would I think I would consider running multiple miles at the crack of dawn FUN!  I mean who wants to get up before 0:dark thirty to run outside in the dark with wildlife running around here and there?  I took cross country track my freshman year in High School simply because my best friend joined (she could run) and I ...

All I Do Is Win

Honestly - that is not true.  I do not always win or am number one in everything I do.  Sometimes I stop trying or I come in dead last.  But either way when it comes to this fitness thing I do not always feel as if I have to "win" against someone.  I typically compete with myself.  I test myself to see how far I can push a weight or how ...

Going In A New Direction

Have you ever felt worried when you have decided to try a new running route?  Wonder if you will make it, or tucker out halfway through?  That's how I feel as I map a new route on MapMyRun based on a suggestion of one of our running partners.  I have fun 5 miles before and even found a familiar route to run but this is a NEW one.  With new ...

How Far You Can Go

Today was a great day.  Not just because it is part of a 3-day weekend or it's the holiday.  I know the day just started but it was an amazing morning.  I met up with five other women at 6:00 am and we hit the pavement to work our bodies so it stays fit and healthy.  One of my former neighbors came out this wonderful morning too!  I was so ...

Can You Hang?

If you are actively participating in or lurking on the FFFC private or public Facebook pages you know over the next few weeks we have scheduled 5:45 am 3-mile runs.  I am excited about this because I am ready to take it back outside.  The air is fresh and it invigorates me.  I also like the camaraderie as I tend to run with my neighbor.  I ...
