13.1... Again

By
I've done it, i did it and well... I'm going to do it again....but better! 9 weeks.. 9 weeks is all i have this time around. No training partner to push me, no one but me this time around. 13.1 miles of me and some tunes and prayerfully great weather and a nice group. Lol! One can wish right. 
 
After my first Half Marathon. Feb 2016

When it dawned  on me that the last time i truly pounded the pavement was way back in June I gasped in disbelief and said to myself... "CHANGE IT". That was early August and with only 3 runs in since i clearly didn't change much. Flash forward to mid September. I am active in my gym and by active I mean i make it in there about 4 times a week for a 30 minute session but even that is starting to slip, a Pepsi here and a cookie there and well I'm starting to feel the slug now.. smh!The saddest part is that I'm normally motivating others, and when they tried to motivate me i was less then open. (Sorry guys) 



I don't think she truly get what she has done, but i thank my coworker Susan. One question about running, sparked a conversation with my husband and an impromptu late sign up for the American Family Fitness Half Marathon aka The Richmond Half Marathon. Which has pushed forward so many other things I've been sitting on. So no more sitting  now it is time to run and to grow and to be better... Join me along my journey? Today its the Richmond Half Marathon but it doesn't stop there. 

Day 1 of training.. Richmond Half Marathon here I come!

Kill Gym Funk with Vinegar!

By
Vinegar and gym funk? Say what! Yup Vinegar can kill gym funk. If you've been in the kitchen, watched Doctor Oz or ever did research on losing weight you've heard the word vinegar before. Health nuts drink the red type. Red vinegar is actually used by a number of naturalist to clean their hair and flush fat. White vinegar was a staple in my childhood as my mom used it to clean chicken, wash mirrors and windows and after one trip to Canada, wash clothes. Those of you in the laundry business know what I am talking about. My mom's cousin owned his own laundry mat in Ontario, Canada. One summer changed the course of laundry in my home. Uncle Carl, as I called him, told mom he placed white vinegar in the washing machines to help brighten and whiten the clothes. Over the years I got away from using vinegar on all my loads but recently came back to it. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider using vinegar in your laundry, especially your gym clothes today. 1. Ki...
