Never knows whose paying attention to you!

I was ask to come to the gym today which is normally my day off according to the schedule. But i figure why not! I'm amazed at how I inspired my neighbor without even knowing.. I still can't get over it. Well she invited me to the gym with her because she is running on the treadmill and needed motivation. Now I don't care to much for the tread but figure why not.  I normally run outside between 4:30 a.m. no later than 5 having me back home by 6 a.m.. I did my 30 mins on the tread. Which is funny because either my speed has increase and I'm getting faster or I'm just getting better condition.. But guess what she informed me that she started out weighing 266lbs and now she is down 216lbs. She said I inspired her to get out and get moving because she always seen me running and she wanted to try it. I'm so proud of her. See you never know who are watching you and never know who you are inspiring.

I'm just super stoke about me running a half marathon Feb 26, 2012! I can't wait. I'm just excited about life. I don't know if it's the change of me turning 40 but baby my sex drive is in overload. Running and working out is having a battle because running relaxes me and tame my sex drive help me release all this damn energy I have but working out send me in overload. I'm going to need to figure something out.

Marathon Training

Today marked the second run to training for a half Marathon. My take on it. The plan I'm doing have me running for 30 min and the distance I got to today was 2.33 miles vs Monday 2.65 miles. Average pace today was 12.52/ miles vs Monday average pace 13.12 /mile. For some reason I found my right calf was tighen up on me and I couldn't run the whole 30 mins. But Monday I was able to run the whole thirty mins with only stoping once slowing down to a fast walking movement. I'm thinking that I should  run 6 days a week having Mon, Wed/Fri doing 3 miles and do tues / thurs 2 miles. I'm still trying to get the kinks out of learning and conditioning myself for this half marathon.

P90x week 1 down!

I'm so proud of me right now. I have complete week 1 of P90x. Although, this is my second time trying Didn't make it pass the second day. I really think my mind wasn't ready.lol.. I didn't take my before pic totally forgot. Not only did I complete the first week of P90x, I accomplished my goal of workout 2x a day. Yes I said 2x a day. I do cardio in the a.m. and P90x in the p.m.... Friday and Saturday was the only time I didn't workout twice a day.

As for hubby he decided to join me in doing P90x so yes we are working out together. Haven't did that in a long time. But he be sabotaging himself sometimes. What's the sense of working out and then go eat a box of donut. I know it's because he is stressed. But I have tried to get his diet under control. We will see how that goes. But he in totally in the friend stage ..LMAO..sorry but that is funny to me. How can I put my husband in the friend stage...hmm something to think about but it happen. lol
