My First Peachtree Road Race

PRR Health and Fitness Expo Start line How do I describe being apart of the largest 10K race in the world in one word? FABULOUS! To date the largest race I've ever done was the Miami Marathon, which had about 25,000 people registered. That race alone was overwhelming with so many people so I couldn't even imagine what 60,000 racers looked like. And being new to the city of Atlanta I wasn't even sure who, what, where and how it all worked. The logistics of just getting to the start line seemed overwhelming. And something I'm learning about myself recently is that I get major anxiety when I'm in situations that I'm unfamiliar with.  I need to know the ins and outs of everything before I start to feel remotely comfortable. Which is why I haven't ventured out much into the Atlanta metro area. Start Line So when I learned that the best way to get to the race was to take the MARTA (train) I was all the way out of my comfort zone. I've taken ...

March Madness!

Ok so I borrowed this from the college basketball hoopla that happened this month but this is how I can best describe this month in terms of my fitness journey.  I can't believe I've completed three solid months and I'm still going strong as far as working out is concerned. I think I found a schedule that works for me. I do cardio on Mondays with a couple guys from work. It's fun working out with men because they push you like another woman couldn't. You don't want to come off looking like a punk because you can't keep up with them so it pushes to me to work harder. They still call me a punk because I don't do an hour of cardio like them but they are not married or have kids to take care so I can't afford to spend all that time on the elliptical. Secretly I don't want too.  LOL Tuesday I  affectionately refer to two a day Tuesdays. I do bootcamp during my lunch hour then in the evening I work out with an old college friend and ex-...

Racing past 2012

I know I have been neglecting my blog and I know I promised to do better in 2012, but this time I mean it! So as far as running and fitness went, I did pretty well this past year.  One of my biggest goals was to do a 5K race every month in 2012.  I may not have done one every month but I more than made up for it by doing more than one race in other months. The first 5K race I did was in January 2012, the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. My goal for this race was to take it easy since I was running a Half marathon the next day.  But of course once I got out there my competitive spirit took control and I ended up running a personal best in that race.  I went from a 34:33 from my first race to a 31:43.  Shave almost 3 minutes off my first 5K time. I was ecstatic.  After that I sent a goal to run a 5K race every month in 2012.  For the most part I did it. There were some months where I didn't run a 5K but made it up in the following month when ...
