Finally trying to pursue what I love...fitness! Preparing to become a personal trainer and teaching Group-X. This blog is to chronicle my own training and experiences. It's all part of the adventure, so I guess I'll see where it takes me!

f l e x β’ f l o w Really laid off the #running this last week...and apparently this past month, according to @stravarun stats...like an all-time low...at least in a long time π€¦π½ββοΈ My one calf had seemed to improved...only for the other one to take its place. Planning to give it a go today though ππΌ Anyway, I used to hate working out at home/indoors...but over time, have grown to appreciate it. I'm so excited to add in a new at-home program, @flexandflow #ffyhiityoga, from the ladies at @fitapproach!! Since I don't know when I'll get my first workout, I decided to get my fix...and test it out...with the challenge they posted, back in June! Hey, #betterlatethannever, in my opinion ππ½ Anyway, I LOVED it, and can't wait to try more π€ #sweatpink #flexandflow

l a s t β’ d a y @runnersloveyoga + @mollyhuddle @doyogarunfaster #rlystrength Challenge: ankle stability. Good stuff. Some days my balance is definitely better than others...today was not one of those days. Perhaps it was the @bosu_fitness ball...or the fact that I'm also going into my last night of 3οΈβ£. Yeah, that might have something to do with it π #runnersloveyoga #doyogarunfaster #yogaeverydamnday

d a y β’ s e v e n I can tell you one thing...being #scrubsmatchy makes me really happy π€ Now, that aside...I decided to get it done early today for @runnersloveyoga + @mollyhuddle @doyogarunfaster #rlystrentgh Challenge: vrksasana Another side note...You may have noticed some extra four-legged friends. I'm dog sitting...and every time I pull out the mats, they're on it! They definitely make the poses harder than they already are! But, I guess they also add an entertainment factor π Anyway, I think it's time for a shower and sleep π΄ #runnersloveyoga #doyogarunfaster #yogaeverydamnday #noclife #newgrad #nightshift #sparklysoulinc #sparklysoulambassador #wearfigs #threadsforthreads #procompression #keepittight #handfulbra #grablife #flatternotflatten #nightnight

d a y β’ s i x @runnersloveyoga + @mollyhuddle @doyogarunfaster #rlystrength Challenge: med ball throw βοΈ Took a few tries to get any footage, and ended up going through the sequence without actually releasing the ball. Initially, I tried throwing to the boys, since they like to get involved...but for the sake of safety, decided to just release to the ground instead...hence the reason we went outside for today's post. Anyway, I was able to get it done, after a little #barre + #yoga sesh...with today's focus being on core, which can always use some work. #runnersloveyoga #doyogarunfaster #yogaeverydamnday

d a y β’ f i v e You better believe today's post is another time lapse. You see, these guys are what keep my workouts short and sweet, as of late. As soon as they knew I was recording my post for today's @runnersloveyoga + @mollyhuddle @doyogarunfaster #rlystrength Challenge...they just had to be involved too π€¦π½ββοΈ So, here it is...anjaneyasana...or something like it π #runnersloveyoga #doyogarunfaster #yogaeverydamnday #lagendijkcircus #boymom #keepingitreal #patienceisavirtue #yourwelcome

g r a b β’ b a g s So, the other day, I finally made it in for an eye exam! While looking deciding on which new glasses I would get, Ian found a pair of RayBans he really wanted. Hmmm...$90 for kids #sunglasses?! π€ Nope, sorry bud. I remembered seeing @knockaround shades for kids, but after reading about them, it sounded like they were best for kiddos 5yrs and under, so I was hesitant. I also saw the #knockbox was available again, so decided that would be the best option! Unrelated, but right around the same time, @procompression had their grab bag socks available too...and since I basically live in them between #running, recovery, and work...I figured a few more pairs would be ok π Aside from the obvious, one of the best parts of supporting local business...these grab bag orders arrive in my mailbox super quick! Yay!! And, because they're grab bags...it's super fun to be surprised π€ Further adding to the surprise, I found not 3οΈβ£, but 4οΈβ£ pairs of shades π Admittedly, I already own a pair of #uglychristmassweater shades, so...rather than keep them for ourselves, I thought giving them away would be fun! Plus, I just really like giveaways! And...if you happen to own the #uglysweater #procompression socks, these shades are pretty #onpoint ππΌ So, if you're interested in a little giveaway, check out my next post...because for whatever reason, I can't share multiple images in this post π€¦π½ββοΈ #knockfan #knockfam #keepittight

d a y β’ f o u r I've decided the time lapse is the way to go, mostly so you get the idea of drill/asana, without having to watch me actually go through it in real time...which might be painful to the eyes π Here's today's @runnersloveyoga + @mollyhuddle @doyogarunfaster #rlystrength drill for today, the leg raise drop. With my #diastasisrecti, exercises like this, that work the transverse abdominals, are really what I need to be doing. To modify a little, I used a small inflatable peanut, (ball works too), to help me focus on form. #runnersloveyoga #doyogarunfaster #handfulbra #grablife #flippinawesome

d a y β’ t h r e e Got it done earlier but didn't have the proof...so here's a reenactment. Again, went for the time lapse, mostly for your viewing pleasure...and again, not the greatest angle, but went with it anyway...because, the dogs πΆ So, here is today, virabhadrasanaIII from @runnersloveyoga @mollyhuddle @doyogarunfaster #rlystrength ππΌ #runnersloveyoga #doyogarunfaster #yogaeverydamnday

d a y β’ t w o Went for just a photo, for today's @doyogarunfaster @mollyhuddle @doyogarunfaster #rlystrength challenge: glute bridge π Followed that up with my daily #yoga, which was to work on my arm balances...which by the way, I'm terrible at π This was then followed by a few miles, to meet the boys at swim. I was thinking I'd get in 5mi...but apparently was off in my estimation, as I ended up with 6.25 @charitymiles for @everymomcounts, when I stopped π€ I also thought the cool breeze was much welcomed, though it was deceivingly humid οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ Now it's time for a shower, quick dinner, and get ready for night βπ½.

n o c β’ l i f e When the number of hours you sleep, is less than the number of miles you #run π€¦π½ββοΈ Honestly...the last thing I wanted to do after working the last two nights, was go #running. After my second night of two in a row, I usually only take a nap...so that I can get back to my regularly scheduled programming π Not sure it's the best way, but it sounds good in theory. Today, I felt pretty tired though...and had a bit of a headache...probably from the heat and lack of sleep. Anyway, at the end of the day, I had a chance to get in some miles, so I made myself do it. I had no real expectations, especially since I've been working on resting my calf, but figured I'd aim for 4-5mi. Now that it's done, I can't say it felt great, but I got it done...and, the calf is holding up ππΌ Total: 5.10mi/36:04...π« @charitymiles though, because I decided to hands free #sweatpink #fitfluential #ffcheckin #livelifemakewaves #werunsocial #likeagirl #mamalete #runlikeamother #motherrunner #130project #beatyesterday #newgrad #noclife #nightshift

I β’ t r i e d So, my last two runs, have resulted in what I initially thought was a bad calf cramp...but am now considering the idea of it being a strain π¬ I've been RICE-ing...(well, actually, because I first thought it was a cramp, massaged and tried heat...which didn't really help. I took a rest day before making the second run attempt, but ended up with the same symptoms). So...then I went for the RICE ππ½ Anyway, today would have been my "long" #run day, but since it's still not feeling π― and I'm trying to be smart...I went for a ride instead. Now, in the past the extent of my "riding," has mostly consisted of the indoor stationary bike we have, during times I wasn't able to run. Outside, I've done a few rides, but never of any significant distance or duration. Until today. The hubs suggested a route, and I went for it. It was a fun challenge, and I'll always take outdoors when given the opportunity! As far as the ride...I felt like I maintained a pretty decent pace, though it may not look like it...thanks to the hills...(I'm pretty sure I could run as fast, or faster, up them)...and the many stoplights I had to stop at. Considering my lack of riding experience though, I guess I'll take it π I had fun and that's what counts!

h a p p y β’ f o u r t h Just because I worked last night into the morning of the fourth...doesn't mean I could still dress accordingly. Definitely went all out on the #scrubsmatchy today! Not sure what the rest of my day has in store...definitely some sleep...maybe a few miles...and of course, time with my boys! Hope you all have a wonderful day, with family and friends...celebrating our independence πΊπΈ #newgrad #sparklysoulambassador #sparklysoulinc #procompression #keepittight #wearfigs #threadsforthreads #knockfan
