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 ...
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-...
It has been years since I've blogged. I can't believe how long it's been but I FINALLY found something that I’m so excited to share with the masses! This past Sunday I completed the Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon. I completed this race last year and loved it so much I jumped online the next day and registered for 2016! Which meant I spent a whole year fretting about this race. When I first signed up there was a link in my registration that said "Transfer to another athlete". It was my first time seeing that for a race Expo and flat Mimi I signed up for. I took it as a bad omen. LOL. What if something happened and I couldn't run?? A million scenarios ran through my head. But then October came and it was finally time to start training! I would go into the highs and lows of training season but there were so many ups and downs and twists and turns and I want to keep this post about that actual race! The day before the race (Saturday) aft...
