I figure since it’s been a month, I can finally do the recap for my third half marathon. As disappointing as it was, I also learned a lot and it hasn’t scarred me permanently 😛 Thanks for following my journey! Training: I had planned on doing the 12 week Hal Higdon plan, like I did for…

Fresh Start 2017
I woke up this morning, drank a full glass of water before I even got out of bed, and started my 3 Day Refresh. This will help me kickstart this new year, fresh start. No new year, new me…I’m still the same person today than I was last night at 11:59 p.m. 😀 But, as…
One year wrap-up in 905 words ^_^
So today marks one year since I started this weight loss journey and decided to change my lifestyle to a healthier one FOR GOOD. Though I did my first 21 Day Fix workout on February 24, 2014, I have to backtrack a little bit to when my challenge pack first arrived. There was one bigger…
Reflection on 2014 and Best Wishes for 2015
When 2014 started, I honestly didn’t have any expectations of the coming year. I gave up on New Year’s Resolutions a long time ago! But when I think back over the last 364 days, I realize there were a lot of monumental changes in my life this year. Not only did I finally get my…
YEAR END RESULTS!
10 months, 47 pounds, 38 inches down…18 pounds to go until my ultimate goal weight! For those of you that don’t use pictures or measurements as motivation, you should start! The scale isn’t the only place to see changes…and sometimes it can really work against you and be very unmotivating. See it and feel it….
See Cat Run
Well, here we are…week 12. Three days away from my first half marathon. I posted weekly updates until week 4, then combined weeks 5 and 6, finally giving up posting about it altogether for some reason. I figured I needed to document everything, even minimally, just so I can remember this in the future! I…
Half Marathon Training – Weeks 5 & 6 Update
Sorry I’ve been kind of distant lately…work has been a little hectic, then we had house guests two weekends in a row! My training is going great!! Week 5 my shorter runs were 4 miles, which I completed in 36:08 and 35:48. My longer run was supposed to be 6 miles, but I figured that…
Half Marathon Training – 4 week update
So this week was great for my shorter runs but my longer run was a little more disappointing. Repeated last week’s distances, so my shorter ones were 3.5 and my longer run today was 5 miles again. This week’s shorter runs came in at 31:29 and 31:20, which was better than last week’s 31:41 and…
Half Marathon Training – 3 week update
Week three is in the books! Increased to 3.5 miles on the shorter run days, and 5 miles today for the longer run! Did strength training with PiYo on Monday, took my rest day Wednesday and walked Friday instead, and did a shorter walk yesterday. I ended up adjusting my diet a little bit, too,…
Half Marathon Training – 2 week update
I figured since I have completed two weeks of half marathon training, it was time to start documenting it! To give some background info…I am currently training for the Richmond Half Marathon November 15th. I started a 12-week program on Monday, August 25th, which will take me all the way up until the race. It starts…
