Running day

Finally victory over the morning!!! I have such a hard time getting out of bed in the morning to get my workout in. I really love staying in bed as long as possible! It's a weakness of mine. However... thanks to my adoreable Mother... I was able to get up this morning and get going. She is a morning person by nature and said she would be willing to come downstairs and turn on my lights for me so I am more motivated to get out of bed. The darkness of the morning is a real sticking place for me... it still feels like night. Anyway...IT WORKED! (Thanks Mom!)
So here's this mornings run down:

2 miles
252 calories
35 minutes

¼ mile walking 3.0
¼ mile running 4.0
¼ mile walking 3.5
½ mile running 4.3
¼ mile walking 3.0
¼ mile running 4.0
¼ mile walking 3.0

Non-treadmill day

So today is a non treadmill day. I spent 30 minutes doing a workout video that uses my BOSU dome. Holy Crap! it really had me sweating. I wasn't able to complete the workout on the dome...some of it I did just on the floor behind that ball, but that gives me something to work up to.

Press on- nothing can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not;

nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge

Lacking Motivation

1.5 miles
180 calories
26 minutes
¼ mile walking 3.5
½ mile running 4.0
¾ mile walking 3.5
So... this is really hard for me. I am struggling for any kind of motivation right now. I know that I am "training" for the Butte to Butte...but tonight while I was on the couch watching TV I was not thinking of the Butte to Butte. All I could think of was how tired I was. If Sherrill had not badgered me into it I would not have done it tonight. I have to find something within myself that is going to push me.

It's not what I wanted...but at least it's something

9:15 PM
1 mile
130 calories
18 minutes
¼ walking at 3.5
¼ running at 4.0
¼ walking a 3.5
¼ running at 4.5
I'm frustrated that I didn't go the whole time but I totally let myself get distracted.
Like I said...at least it's something. I have to take small victories where I can find them.

Day One... training for the Butte to Butte

I have been putting this off! But I really want to run in the Butte to Butte this year. I have wanted to do this since I lived there growing up…but I always chose to do other things…things that made my body more sedentary and less active.

But No More!

This is the year that I will get ready and run it!

So we are starting from square one.
Treadmill workout:
2 miles
244 calories
33 minutes
¼ mile walking at 3.5
¼ mile running at 4.0
¼ mile walking at 3.0 for half & 3.5 for half
¼ mile running at 4.2
¼ mile walking at 3.0 for half & 3.5 for half
¼ mile running at 4.2
¼ mile walking at 3.0 for half & 3.5 for half
The last ¼ mile I ran at 4.0 for only half the time and walked the rest

So there we are.

New Adventure!

Hi! And welcome to my Blog!
My name is Hilary and I have made a commitment to make some positive changes to my body! So I know that lots of folks do blogs about their families… I am doing one about my fitness journey. I’m going to add pictures and feelings and what I am doing daily to reach my goals!

I have struggled my entire life with wanting my body to be different from what I had made of it. I am learning that I have to accept the attributes that God gave me and work with those attributes to make them better…indeed, I would like to make them the best they can be.

So…I hope that what you find here is informative and that as a friend we can help each other reach our individual goals!
