gym visit + updates

gym visit

i haven't seen the inside of the gym for at least six weeks. my running, strength training, and gym classes were put on hold for this little thing called the bar exam. it took me about two weeks to build up the motivation to hit the gym again. last week, i ran with my TNT crew. we did interval training and it was tough with a capital t. due to feeling my pain, i was motivated to start up again.

on my three mile gym run, i was inspired to start a work out journal. it'll be my first. i hope to keep it up for at least a year. it'll be a simple journal, just a place to acknowledge my work outs, my weaknesses, my strengths. i started it last night.

this is why i love working out. you get small inspirations to do things with your life that you would never have the courage to do with out the physical, mental, and spiritual coming together in harmony.

updates

i have decided to hold off on the alaska marathon quest with TNT. right now, my life is in flux and i have (surprisingly) a lot on my plate. training for a marathon PLUS raising money is a lot of work. so, i've made the big girl step in stepping down from TNT, in hopes of coming back in summer season.

what does that mean? that means that i will continue to train, probably register for a few half marathons, and strengthen my muscles. around 30 is when women peak in their running, and i want to prepare my body for that peak.

i am registering for the NYC marathon lottery. i am looking for other marathons and hopefully will accomplish seeing two states in the United States via marathoning. :)
