Warrior Dash: training

I've been "training" which means I've gone running 3 whole times now! Wow!

2nd attempt: 3.2 miles in 37 minutes (yeah, huge improvement!)

3rd attempt: 3.2 miles in 41 minutes (wait?! Why am I getting worse?!)

Today was TERRIBLE! I could not keep my breath and my heart-rate was out of control! Sad. Hoping to run at least 2 more times this week. I'm just annoyed that I can kick people's BEHINDS in my spin class, but can't run a mile without feeling like I'm having a heart attack! Ahhh!

Warrior Dash

I was looking over my last post and realized I never updated. Huh. Maybe I'll do that soon. I LOVE to train for stuff. This year, I'm doing the Warrior Dash! I'm seriously stoked about it! I'm signed up with my friend Tiffany Morgan, and we are hoping to get a few more ladies to join us. I'm scared about the run, and stoked about the obstacles! Now I just need to practice my army crawl and hope my rock climbing skills from high school/college haven't left me!

Today:

3.1 miles ran in 42 minutes

Hoping to cut that time CLEAR down. The race is March 17th. I have about 6 weeks to run WAY faster! Wish me luck! I WILL be posting pictures on this race!

Who Am I?

I'm a busy mom of three who happens to have a part-time job as a fitness instructor to keep me sane! I've been teaching for nearly 6 years, starting with spin and it's just blown up from there including lifting, water aerobics, step, kickboxing, boxing on bags, yoga, and bootcamp style classes. I've been spin certified for over 5 years, and have my Primary Group Certification through AFAA. I've done extra training in just about everything--the latest being in TRX Suspension Trainers. I'm not gonna lie-those things are awesome! Along this journey, I've gotten into road biking completing a MS 150 from Houston to Austin (the reason behind the name of the blog), competed in a triathlon, and sprinkled in a Warrior Dash, a Race for the Cure, and have a few more fun races in the future! The crazier the race, the better I like it! I love to work out and I love teaching! Seeing results in other people makes my job worth it! Thanks for checking out my blog!
