Goal was to run 3 miles but quickly change my mind once I got started. Body and mind wasn't syncing together today..lol But at least I got it in!!! SN: Hair is in need of a good wash, deep condition and tender loving care. Now if only i can find someone willing to pamper my hair until I find the energy to do it!!

I ran 4.67 miles in a hour at a 12:50 pace!! Goal was to do 5 miles or run for an hour which ever came first. The hour won!!lol. However, I had a great run and looking forward to hitting the 5 mile mark by the end of the week. Gotta get ready for this half marathon, I signed up for in November. I want to at least be able to run 10 miles out of 13.1. I figure I can crawl the last 3..LMAO.. Focus

Decided to take a much needed break from unpacking boxes and decorating our new location. It 's such a beautiful day. Almost as if there never was a hurricane passing through! So I took advantage and hit the treadmill without my ipod. It was a real struggle (miss my music) but I enjoyed getting out of the house.. Enjoying the rest of my day with the sun and will be on the look out for an outdoor run path or trial!  2.01 mi 00:30 14:55 pace sucks!

Getting it in and preserving the sexy,

"i believed in you that's why I'm so mad, now I'm drowning in disappointment and it's hard for me to even look at you"

New  found artist that my Bff daughter hook me on too. Don't listen to too much music but, fell in love with this song, when I heard it. On constant repeat!!!

updates

 Been spending time visiting family, and friends. The good thing about been semi with in driving distance is family and friends..the bad thing is family and friends..lol.. However, I'm so happy that I'm near that words can not express how exciting it is!! So you know I've been bitten by the driving bug and will drive down to see them with no hesitation. Now I need to do is find a job, re enroll in school, learn the area and established my foot prints here!! Because If i don't I'll be on the road traveling visiting friends and family!!Can't enjoy my new home if I'm not ever in it.rotfl.. For all the miles not put on my car when we was living in WA,I'll be making up for it since been relocated.

Update:5 k Wounded Warrior Run.

My Bff and I did complete the Wounded Warrior 5 k run. This was my first offical 5k run and my bff second. The weather was WA state perfect although we was running in GA. We drove up that friday and spent the night at her parents. Woke up early Saturday morning and we was off to pick up our bib. She was nervous, i was excited. My only concern was considering that I run faster than her, should i just enjoy the run and not worry about my time, run my pace while leaving her behind or just run her pace so that I can push her and encourage her? Although it was hard , I ran her pace, pushed her and encourage.I looked at it as no women left behind mentailty So I just enjoyed the view and ran at her pace. I know I could've killed it under 34 mins! But at the end I help encourage and motivated my bff while running for a great cause!

Here I am at the starting point! Garmin (checked), Ipod (checked),Ready, excited and motivated (checked)!
                                                

My Bff Connie! She has really been on top of her game with getting healthy and lossing weight. I'm so proud of her. She's keeping me on top of my toes, especially since I've gotten her into running! Although She always calling me her workout bully!




Connie and I bringing it in strong!

 We were almost near the finished line and some how she manage to dig deep!!! Our pace picked up and we finished strong. Determine, Focus and pushing it!!!

Sometimes making yourself " JUST DO IT " it is all the motivation you'll every need to make it happen! This statement reflect what was going on in this pic. I was soo proud of her because she step up and pushed herself. 

Here we are at the finished line! Our time was 45:34 with a 14:42/M pace. She is motivate to get to a 11 mile pace and have told me she's coming after me. So that means I have to get to a 9 mile pace..what did you think I was going to make it easy for her? Of course not!!!lol We are only making each other better while preserving our sexy!

Until next time, Preserving the sexy, and increasing my miles because every mile is magical!

Bear sighting on the route I used to run In WA

One of my son friends sent this picture to me so, that I can see the picture of the young club that was sighted in the housing area and running route Hillside Road I always run. The location that the bear sit is the left side I run coming back down to head home. I run behind the wall to keep from being in the street. Lord if I was running and ran into this club..i would've died right their on the spot!!!! Thank you jesus I wasn't running that day!

Five miles

Despite functioning off of four hours of sleep; I still managed to get up and go running. I was tired and just hope that I had energy to just do it and get it over. DH and I decide that running at 7:30 a.m. Would beat the sun which we did but the humility was a beast. But I was determine to run despite the heat. The first two miles I decided to run with out listening to music. Everything was going great and then the heat hit me..sweat was pouring and I was exhausted. Decided to listen to some music for some motivation to keep moving. It just irritated me because sweat was all over my ear plug I just took them off. I ran 5 miles in 1:06. I was just to get it over with. I'm loving the GA weather because not only is it kicking my ass but also challenging me! It so hot that if it wasn't against the law I would run naked! I'm upping my mile to 5 miles next week for 3 weeks to so I can syart getting more miles in! Until then I'm still running to perserve the sexy because every miles is still magical despite the heat! Loving it. Shelia.

Treadmill

DH and I was in North Carliona to get the keys to our house and decided to take advantage of the hotel gym. It was so hot I wonder would it have matter to even bit any lotion on. I wanted to just go without lotion and be ashy! I figure the sweat would cover up the ashiness. So because of time contriction I did 34 mins on the treadmill with the incline set at 15 and the speed at 3.5. It was a great workout. Despite enjoying the weather, I wonder if I'm ready to run on Saturday in 86 degrees at 8 a.m. I have to get use to run in heat and also carrying water while am running. Hope I don't fall out. By the way this is the most I've used my phone to update my blog! Enjoy the time with family and friend!
